Cara Cara

Mar. 3, 2026

Warning- these images are not for the faint of heart.

It’s no wonder that most people believe Cara Cara are vultures (they are hawks) the way they feed on carrion. in this case they are feeding on a deer that was roadkill.

These two were taking some food back to their nest (which we haven’t found).

After the Cara Cara’s were finished, the vultures moved in.

We left the hunt camp and have moved further down the road to an RV park called Lake Marian RV & Resort. Most of the waterfront on this lake (roughly 8 miles x 2 miles) is wildlife protected wetlands. This place, a farm that’s been there a long time that has 7 miles of waterfront and one other business that has a couple of miles. It’s next to impossible to get a building permit which I’m glad to hear.

There is a marina with plenty of places to tie up your boat. The sites are half and half campers and manufactured homes. Our friend Tom has the house built by the original property owner. It’s a triple wide plus a deck and other extras. Our friend Paul also has a house, not as big but still very nice. Paul came over while we were setting up to welcome us to the neighborhood and invite us for a pontoon boat ride. Tom was in Ft Lauderdale.

Here is Paul driving the boat.
