Very nice. I especially like the bird pics. White tailed Kites are sadley only out west. Plus your Red tailed are more rufous on the underside than the eastern varieties I see. In compensation the back of the tail is much brighter red in the eastern hawks. Out here I mostly see Osprey chasing both red tails and eagles. Great photos(even the non-bird ones)!
Thanks Joe. Yes I do appreciate our western Kites. The pair at Batiquitos has been there for several years. They are a joy to watch as they hover hunt above the lagoon. We have 4 Ospreys currently, but I've never seen them go after the Red Tails. We also have a pair of Red-shouldered hawks that hunt the lagoon. And right now the Egrets and Herons are nesting in the rookery in the lagoon. Spring is a great time here.
