pickBefore listening to this audiobook, I knew nothing about caracaras, which are falcons found in South America. They are remarkable creatures, as the title claims: highly intelligent, sociable and inquisitive. The author does a deep dive into everything about them and the entire book is riveting! #ScienceNerd
Soubhiville I loved this book! I picked this up after watching a pair of crested Cara Caras that live/ hunt in my central Texas area. I see them (or at least one of them) at least once a week while out walking. I got to watch one eating a rabbit this spring. It‘s a pretty amazing and massive bird! 2y
Lindy @Soubhiville I‘m envious that you have seen these birds. It seems like they might become more common in North America, living off roadkill along the highways. 2y
Soubhiville @Lindy From what I‘ve read it seems their territory is just creeping into the Southern US as climate change warms our temperatures. Not long ago it would have been highly unusual to see them here at all, let alone clearly living here. 2y
Lindy @Soubhiville Exactly. And other species are moving northward as well. I like what Jonathan Meiberg has to say about discovery: that there‘s so much about our world that we don‘t yet know, even without taking current changes into account. 2y
