In March and April I conducted several photography workshops where one of the featured subjects was the endangered Snail Kite. Snail Kites are often attacked by smaller birds like Red-winged Black Birds and Grackles as they go about their daily routines. What follows are a few of the hundreds of photos I made of this behavior while shooting this season's nesting Snail Kite colony. This type of shot is particularly difficult to get becuase you have two moving subjects. In addition to the light, distance, timing, focus, etc. all coming together at the same moment, you need to have two birds with decent head and wing positions and close enough to each other to achive focus on both subjects.
