HI, Birders,
A CRESTED CARACARA was found and photographed by Wilma Vermilyer on Saturday, June 27, 2026 along Lone Tree Road. This represents the first record of Crested Caracara for San Benito County, CA.
It has not been seen since that day, although it could still be around. I believe it was found along the lower grasslands of Lone Tree Road.
Wishing all a Happy Fourth of July and good birding, Debi
