Posting on behalf of Chris Eagles. Before lunch today, Chris Eagles photographed a Crested Caracara in Wawa in the east edge of Lake Superior and posted it to Facebook, unsure of its identity. I figure it's worth posting to here for those who do not use Facebook. He has seen it again this afternoon, and it was apparently eating fish scraps. He was able to photograph it with his cell phone and it was about 20 feet away from heavy machinery.
I am not in that area, but here are directions he described to me. Do note that there is NO PUBLIC ACCESS to this area, but if it's moving around some it could potentially be refound. He was here and found it because he works on this site. It is mto property where I am working ....I spotted this bird in an mto pit along highway 17 about 15 kms south of wawa at 11 am this morning ....this pit will be closed as of the end of the week for the winter months. The closest landmark would be the old woman bay rest area on Lake Superior. Again, I have not observed this bird myself, so I do not have much else to tell people about it. I just wanted to get the word out.
