San Jacinto Festival Mexican Eagle (National Bird of Mexico Crested Cara Cara)

San Jacinto Festival Mexican Eagle (National Bird of Mexico Crested Cara Cara) Founded in 1978 by Master Falconer and Veterinary Technician John Karger, Last Chance Forever is a nonprofit, tax exempt organization dedicated to the rehabilitation of sick, injured and orphaned birds of prey, scientific investigation, and also just as importantly, the education of the public. Each year the project receives between 150-300 birds into the facility for care. An average of 65-80% of all cases are successfully returned to nature. Birds which are deemed non-releasable and are not suffering when possible are held to be placed in propagation projects, natural science centers for educational purposes, or humane research projects. In addition to properly caring for the birds, Last Chance Forever has designed an educational program for presentation to children, civic organizations and interested individuals. This program is seen by over 500,000 people annually throughout the United States. It promotes a common sense attitude towards the interaction of mankind and our environment. Through this program, we also hope to encourage a change in attitudes concerning birds of prey such as hawks, owls, falcons, vultures and eagles.

I called the Mexican Embassy in Washington DC- (202) 728-1600- they put me through to Cultural Affairs- THEY SAID that the crested caracara is the national bird of Mexico!!!!!!!!! Aquila Chrysaetos is on the Mexican Flag and is thought by some to be the national bird of Mexico. Once again- The Golden Eagle is on the flag and coat of arms, but it is not the national bird. http://www.mexconnect.com/articles/37... http://www.arqueomex.com/S2N3nAGUILA7... http://www.yourhoustonnews.com/atasco...
