  A Day at the Beach<\/h2>\n

  While the distribution range of Northern Crested Caracara has been known to extend as far north as the state of Florida, they are typically found living throughout Cuba, northern South America, \u00a0Central America and of course Mexico. In these areas they can be found inhabiting a wide range of open and semi-open countryside including lowlands, cattle ranches, prairies, coastal woodlands, coconut plantations and even along the scrub forest by the beach. I guess even birds can enjoy a nice relaxing day at the beach, once in awhile. Looking at their habitat preferences, it is easy to see that they can be found pretty much anywhere throughout their distribution range.<\/p>\n
