Great weekend for photos! Keep them coming.
I got to witness a fantastic aerial ballet yesterday afternoon. The pair of kites I have been following definitely have young-ins. I have not seen how many, but I can hear the cries from the very top of the eucalyptus tree their nest is in. As one goes out to hunt, the other stays near the nest. But yesterday, the male? went out and got a mouse, then as he flew back to the nest, did a mid air transfer of the mouse to the other kite, and went back toward the fields looking for more. Basically, the female flew upside down and took the mouse out of the male's talons. Very cool to see!
