Carancho = Caracara (it's a bird)

[Redpossum]

El cielo no puede esperar: la invasión de caranchos | Avistamientos, fetiches y mitos virales en torno al último heredero de los aires porteños

El freno obligado por la pandemia permitió notar sus graznidos. ¿De dónde salieron esas aves que copan terrazas y antenas?

An interesting story about birds in the city, and also an example of the sometimes unique nature of Spanish in Argentina. Apparently, the bird is called "carancho" only here - the rest of the world seems to call it "caracara", and use the word "carancho" as slang for an unpleasant person. Wikipedia has a page with a nice picture, which appears to be the same bird.

I see Caracaras all over the city. But I am a bird watcher. I always look up. People here don't look up much. I also see the American Kestral all the time too. A small falcon.
