White-tailed Kite

Elanus leucurus

Description:

I found a pair of white tailed kites hunting for food. Lots of in air hovering to look for rabbits, mice, and rats. The other birds all moved to nearby light posts and seemed to be wary of the large birds.

Nice shots! We have a similar looking kite (black-shouldered kite) here in Asia.
