With Mississippi Kites nesting here (perhaps drawn north by the vast food supply provided by the Brood X cicada emergence), seeing flights is a daily experience. While trying to get some bifs, I learned that not only do the raptors catch them in the air, they eat them in flight.

Excellent captures Steve! I have not seen raptors eat their prey in the air.

nice work especially with the second image..the contrast and light picks up prey and hunter dramatically ..tfs

Thanks for your comments, havelock! I appreciate them very much.

Thanks, Mike! Nor I, when it comes to knowing about raptors eating in flight. I think MIKIs are one of the few that do. When I looked closely at some of the pics I could see bits and pieces of the cicadas drifting away as the bird ate. Very interesting, I thought.
