After leaving Ushuaia, we had a day at sea as we made our way toward the Falklands. When I went to the Arts Caf\u00e9 that afternoon, there was a bit of excitement: a bird had been hanging out on the terrace for hours. It was generally agreed that he’d come aboard while we were docked in Ushuaia and that maybe he wasn’t a seabird, so was stuck until we got close to land again.<\/p>\n

I sat down several feet away in order to take some pictures. I also said hello and chatted a bit because, you know, manners.<\/p>\n

\"Cararaca\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Say<\/a><\/p>\n

And then suddenly he spread his wings, flew right toward me, and landed on my arm!<\/p>\n

\"Cararaca<\/a><\/p>\n

He stayed there for several minutes and one of the waiters took photos for me.<\/p>\n

\"Cararaca<\/a><\/p>\n

After a while, he hopped onto the back of my chair and I went inside. I sat at the window, just watching this beautiful wild bird for hours.<\/p>\n

Someone had identified it as a caracara, so I went online to narrow his species down further. I think it was a striated caracara<\/a>. I posted a photo on the cruise’s Facebook page,* which brought even more passengers to the caf\u00e9. The reactions to my photo were interesting – half the commenters were shocked that I wasn’t scared having this bird of prey sitting on my arm, while the other half were delighted by, even envious of my little close encounter.<\/p>\n

He was the hot topic for the rest of the day and the jokes flew fast. “He hitched a ride to the Falklands.” When he landed on another passenger’s tablet, “Hey Google, how do I get home?” Someone eventually fed it a variety of seafood, which it seemed to like a great deal. The next day, upon arriving at the Falklands, he disappeared as quietly as he’d arrived.<\/p>\n

* Someone who saw the photo suggested it was a juvenile southern crested caracara<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
