Striated Caracara (Phalcoboenus australis) standing on one leg on a fence post, Carcass Island, Falkland Islands
Striated Caracaras (known as Johnny Rooks in the Falklands) have long been persecuted because they kill young lambs, and are classified as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List. They are now protected by law and on some islands have become very approachable.
