This is the falcon caracara, not the grocery fruit. Creasted Caracara photos from my birdy friend, Phyllis Webster. Taken in sotuheast Arizona:

The bird is found in the southwestern Us and down into Panama. A medium-sized falcon, tnaty oftens walks around in fields, like some buteos do. Can often be seen in loose flocks.
