Swallow-tailed Kite

Post by Spider »

This is one of three that was flying over my apartment when I got home today! A lifer this year, saw my first while driving back from Kissimme State Wildlife Preserve when I couldn't stop. These guys eat on the wing and I think one had something in his beak, though I didn't get a shot of him. They sound like squeaky toys, lol.
