Nice shot of my personal favorite bird! I love peregrines but the red- tail is THE ONE for me....and they don't seem to be as agressive as the falcons. I have...
Shamelessly, I have posted a few more kite photos from today. This is the other juvenile with little residual brown. However, it does look a bit ragged and...
As always, Dianna, I appreciate your generous words. With your knowledge of red-tails, perhaps you can give me some insight into some behavior I have noticed...
cleve - i don't always say it, but your photos are wonderful! thank you so much for sharing them. devra ... Do you Yahoo!? Next-gen email? Have it all with...
Hi Cleve...In the many red-tails I have watched, I have seen something similar to what you reported...red-tails hovering like kites then slowly descending with...
Thanks, Devra. When I run out of friends and family, it's good to know I can always inflict my photos on the members of this list. ... you so much for sharing...
Okay, red-tailed fans . . . er, people who fancy red-tailed hawks, that is. I posted a few photos from today, including some of their lame attempts to imitate...
Okay, Kite-heads (you know who you are, and I love you both), prepare to be blown away . . . Well, it was too windy for the classic hovering pose that is my...
Ya know - you do have more than two kite fans! My hubby and I have been fans of them for sometime, although we don't see them up our way as often as we used...
Thanks, Dianna. This bird does seem less wary. But then, taking these pictures I was on the road adjacent to the State campground where the birds are used to...
Okay, three kite fans. They are great to watch, but reportedly in steep decline numbers-wise. Glad you are still seeing some in your area and hope there are...
What do I know? I'm just a dumb photographer. http://www.audubon-ca.org/white_tailed_kite.html My own theory is that hunters mistake them for doves. ... steep ...
We're going to be down on the Central Coast the 19th/20th, is there still much to see peregrine wise at Morro Rock? Also, where are the white tails hanging...
I think the bit about the disappearing hunting space is the real reason (not being mistaken for a dove), but there may be a combination of factors. My sad...
The kites I've been photographing are very dependable between 5 and 6PM. They hunt in open space that occupies the northeast corner of the intersection of Hwy...
Which word in "dumb photographer" is it that you don't understand? They need experienced, knowledgeable observers, And now that your chariot has new shoes . ....
We are fortunate enough to have all four adult peregrines at the Rock year round. Of course, they don't always keep to our schedules throughout the day, but I...
You're welcome, ktrb22, and most welcome as well to the small, but devoted, kite-lover subgroup of the raptor list. Actually, I love all the raptors. I just...
What I find most interesting about Cleve's waiting game is getting to watch as these kites go about their normal day, whether it is actively hunting, preening,...
Or so I thought. The wind was up, so no hovering. He hunted successfully early and not very close. I was resigned to sitting around for an hour in hopes he...
Boy-o-boy, man-o-man!!! What a gorgeous bird and what remarkable photos, Cleve!!! I am amazed at how good these are, and a tad bit envious at your great views...
Too windy. So I have posted a few shots from yesterday of a lovely little lady kestrel. http://ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/Raptor_Watch/photos/browse/3a68?c=...
... Oh! Cleve, we'll take the "consolation" prize of a lovely Kestrel seemingly posing for the camera! Again, ever grateful for your talent and willingness to...
Wasn't very special actually. I offer a potpourri of photos, none great, more in the spirit of "Where did you go, and whom did you meet?" I spent most of the...
