Swallow-tailed Kites

[EricD]

These photos were taken from a boat. Hundreds of these Swallow-Tailed Kites gather in an area weeks before their return trip to South America. Once the sun comes up in the morning they come off the trees and skim the water for a drink. They will all be leaving by the 2nd week of August.

This is a great set of images. I think the action you have captured in the last one is my favourite.

Beautiful set! I really like #2 low pass with the wake behind, very nice, # 1 is a close runner up, love the ruffled feathers.
