Today is World Environment Day and following in Kimmie's (http://artinredwagons.blogspot.com) footsteps... I present Audubon's Crested Cara Cara in pastels...
Polyborus plancus is a Threatened raptor that lives in open areas of southern Florida. It is a carrion eater often seen on roadside fence posts along pasture lands.
What an appropriate day to celebrate in light of all the trouble that is going on in the world-especially the gulf crisis. I"m so sad about that situation down there. We must treasure the world that we have.
