Invertebrate Diet of Breeding and Nonbreeding Crested Caracaras (Caracara cheriway) in Florida
Journal of Raptor Research, 2008 ABSTRACT We compared the invertebrate component of the diet of breeding and nonbreeding northern Crested Caracaras (Caracara cheriway) during the breeding season, January through April, in Florida, using pellet analysis. Pellets from breeding adults were collected at active nests and pellets of nonbreeding caracaras were collected from beneath a ...

Intraocular pressure and its correlation with blood gas parameters in crested caracaras (Caracara plancus) anesthetized with isoflurane and sevoflurane Pressão intra-ocular e sua correlação com parâmetros hemogasométricos em caracarás (Caracara plancus) anestesiados com isofluorano e sevofluorano [PDF]
Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, 2008 The intraocular pressure (IOP) and its correlations with arterial carbon dioxide partial pressure (PaCO2) and arterial pH were studied in five crested caracaras (Caracara plancus) anesthetized with isoflurane (ISO) and sevoflurane (SEV).

Journal of Arid Environments, 2001 Crested caracara (Caracara plancus) in Patagonia have a generalist diet, feeding mainly on mammalian carrion and arthropods. Vertebrate prey (mammals, birds and reptiles) are primarily captured to feed nestlings and marginally as food for breeding or immature adults. Immature birds are less selective in their diet than breeding adults, consuming mainly
