There was a pair of Whistling Kites enjoying the thermals up high this morning.
One of them obligingly came down and rested on a branch for a few moments, so I could get a closer shot. They are magnificent birds and they do indeed have a loud whistling call.
That is really great that one of the Kites decided to drop down to your level allowing you to capture him for us all to enjoy.

Lorraine, I was very pleased one decided to let me get a closer shot at least. My trusty old Canon camera can only do so much on its own!
DeleteI will have to remember your winters day when mine comes in 6 months...
ReplyDeleteDonna, we do have glorious winter weather here. It's one of the plus sides about living in the tropics.
DeleteOh yes Bernie, the weather has been awesome lately. I love it when birds are comfortable enough to come down to our level.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are having some nice weather that is not too hot for a change. We have had tons of rain which is very unusual for us and today blue skies and cooler temps. Very nice indeed! Have a great week Bernie.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful bird Bernie. I love those blue skies too.

Great photo of the Kite. Highlights the good reason to leave dead branches in a tree, they make a good spot where a bird can have a clear area to look around.
