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...)

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

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)[reply]

I think I got it: check Auk 117:847, the AOU split it in 2000. Since it's "their" bird, I guess it's good. Dysmorodrepanis 22:13, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
