Female Snail Kite

I Captured this image on Lake Kissimmee in Late May.
Taken with the 1DsMKII and the 500 f4.

Nice shot

Nice shot Bill, I have a swallowtail kite that flies over my backyard from time to time and I would love to get a shot as good as this one.

Excellent in-flight shot. Sharp and clear.

Wow, that is a very sweet shot. Love the action in the wings.

Nice shot, Bill.

Thanks, Kuma, Candor and Anke

Good shooting, Bill. When Mao see this he is going to book the two of us on a flight back to Florida. Then you'll be sorry.

Thanks Harv;
Come on down, we'll use the big guns on these guys.

Beautiful shot Bill. Were you at the landing of Joe Overstreet Rd.?

I'll definitely be going back there next spring, great variety. We didn't see any Kites but plenty of Osprey, Eagles, SH Cranes, Caracara, Meadowlarks and Shrike to keep us busy.

It would make my trip to meet up with you, Harv and Mao for a day or two of shooting.

Stunning image Bill and welcome to POTN.

We just need to convince Mao. But let's wait until it's cooler in Florida. Maybe we can get him back again in the spring breeding season.
