Some birds of the Pantanal.

First up, the Great Black Hawk, both nature and immature. The immature one
was "induced" to dive at this dramatic angle by our boatmen throwing a fish:

Next up, the ever present and invariably noisy Southern Crested Caracara,
one of the largest members of the falcon family:
