Here is the first 7 of a series of 14 images with a Red-winged Black Bird attacking a Male Snail Kite. The RWBB actualy rode the back of the Snail Kite all the way to his nest. The Kite is carrying a piece of a Snail to feed his young chicks. I hope you like the images. Thanks for looking!

These are incredible, what are the chances of seeing this, let alone photographing it. You deserve to make a fortune from these shots!! Both series are wonderful.
