Darrell----I agree looking at your shot--I would love to see this beauty in person--we do not see these guys in North Florida.
Being a raptor man--with Eagles, Ospreys and Hawks this fellow is right there---Really nice capture!!

Lovely photos. I think i have to agree, the Red Kite has to be one of the smartest looking raptors we have in the UK, along with male kestrels, male sparrowhawks and ospreys....... and harriers....... and both eagle species......well i think we have lots of handsome birds of prey
