Had to sneak up on him to get close enough for a shot.

Ahh lucky, I want to get thsi close to Kites, but never can. Such an awesome Raptor. Great job getting the detail and clarity in the eyes.

Good shot, very attractive bird. Looks a little underweight, or possibly a juvenile?

Well worth the stalk I'd say Chuck; what a gorgeous bird and capture.
Those eyes are amazing!

Nicely done! Love the eyes and do they have big feet for their size?

Beautiful shot Chuck, I think you should give sneaking lessons.
