Nesting Kites

I noticed something as I was returning from my short walk into the park on Sunday...

I watched as this pair of Kites flew overhead and on past me...

...only to see the second one come in for a landing...




I went out the next day to see if I could pinpoint the nest location in the local pine tree...

...and found...


...these pair of eyes studying me!
White-tailed Kites tend to hover in the air as they hunt for their food. They are about 16"  with a little over 3 foot wingspan. You can find out more about this bird at this link.


You can also find a few more of my photos of this unique bird at this link.
