A Most Remarkable Creature

This is an enthralling account of a modern-day expedition to discover Caracaras, intelligent and social birds of prey that baffled Charles Darwin more than two centuries ago. Back in 1833, while touring the Falkland Islands, Charles Darwin came across some social, tame, and inquisitive crow-like falcons known as Caracaras. While Darwin didn't give these birds much thought, they are now critically endangered almost 200 years later. Caracaras are without a doubt some of South America's most amazing creatures. And Jonathan Meiburg's book takes us on a journey across the continent to learn more about these beautiful but endangered birds.

A Most Remarkable Creature by Jonathan Meiburg will teach you everything you need to know about the birds' origin, history, and stunning features. To make matters even more interesting, he incorporates the work of William H. Hudson, a Victorian naturalist and writer who championed these birds as an unrecognized natural wonder.

If you want to learn more about these birds and how their survival is threatened, this book is a captivating blend of writing, biography, and travelogue that sheds more light on the subject.
