Maria Kirsten photographed a Crested Caracara in Castle Danger today. It appears to be a younger bird. All the location details I have so far are that “it [was] along Castle Danger Road, not far from the intersection of 61.“
This would be a second state record. To my knowledge no one else has tried for it yet. The sighting was not posted to one of the regular bird rarity outlets I follow (i.e. eBird, a couple of Facebook birding groups), but to a more general Facebook group called Minnesota Naturalists. The wide distribution of bird sightings in the era of social media is something else, isn’t it? Good luck!
