Play Time at the Park

Today was another day at the park...but with a twist!
Today my Granddaughter met some new playground friends. She  enjoyed taking turns...
...and they were kind enough to share some bread to feed the wildlife....


...along with teaching her to be quiet when you are at the water near fishing poles....

...It was a great day indeed!

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.
