Well got some time to go out and find a few wild birds for a nice change. Saw some little eagles and whistling kites chasing down some dinner. They couldn't have been too hungry as they chased but didn't take anything down. Theres always next time ;)

Very nice shots of nature at work. Its like watching a school of fish sometimes when small birds fly in synchronization to avoid a predator...does not appear to be working though.

Why do they call it a "whistleing Kite"? Does it make a whistleing sound?

They do indeed make a dawn out descending whistle normally followed by a bust of ascending notes. The calls they make can be heard upto a mile away.
