Two Striated Caracaras (Phalcoboenus australis) searching for food among the strand line detritus on the beach, 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.
