Good Morning, Those trying for the Caracara in Orange County today should know that the bird did seem to be effected by the presence of the group yesterday. Although the bird was not approached yesterday at any close distance, through it's moving about and the pursuit that followed, it was apparent that the bird requires a WIDE berth. My suggestion would be to stay in the area of the farm parking lot, that was graciously offered up by the owners, so long as vehicles remained on FIRM ground. Please, respect these farmers, who were very kind to all yesterday and please respect the bird. The lot is on the East side of the road. Good luck to all. Positive and negative results welcomed.
