WikiProject Birds To-do: edit MAJOR taxonomic overhaul (see here) Create Galloanserae For new cat: Category:Natural history of the Americas, replace "Hummingbird" article (by Some collaboration, hopefully) an article: along title LINE of: Hummingbirds--the bird of the Americas

[edit] =Mexican flag

Discrepancy: That bird is not on the Mexican flag, the correct bird is the golden eagle

Eating snakes while perched on a cactus is more like a caracara, but the bird symbol is mythological anyway. It is an eagle, no matter what the legendary original observation was of (Hard to think that a state would choose a vulture-falcon to represent itself when there were eagles available...)

[edit] Subspecies

HBW2 lists 4 extant (Tres Marias, Northern, Central, Southern America, basically). What happened? Dysmorodrepanis 01:41, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Binomial name

I've also seen it referred to as Caracara plancus, a combination of the two already mentioned in the article. What's up with that? --Ptcamn 15:07, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
