This crested caracara was trying to enjoy his catfish lunch in peace, but the black vultures kept trying to sneak in and steal a bite. Every so often the caracara would attack the vultures to get them to back off. With my long lens mounted to the camera, I wasn’t able to capture both birds, but as you can see, I did catch just a piece of the vulture’s foot. The location was the Pantanal in Brazil.
