While driving home from the bone Doc's office on 288, I was driving down Cty rd. 101 near FM 1128 when it began to rain. I saw a dark raptor that impressed me as being a TV; however,it did have a light colored rump. So, I turned around at the next intersection (Harkey Rd.), and sure enough, it was an adult Crested Caracara; Not all that unusual here, but it has been a few months since I have seen one in Pearland. Bone doc.'s diagnosis: a cracked humerus from a fall I had 2 weeks ago. Prognosis: it will heal OK on it's own. Mira M.
