I just got off the phone with Steve Muise who had just photographed a CRESTED CARACARA sitting on a telephone pole near Hawks Ridge Farms in Unity - near the intersection of Rt 139 and Reynolds Road. He did say the bird had flown off but they tend to show some site fidelity so I'd recommend looking in this area.
There is always the possibility of this being an escaped bird but with the increase of records in the northeast over the past few years (New Jersey and Nova Scotia come to mind), I think this has great potential to be a natural vagrant.
Good birding,
Doug Hitchcox
