Finally i was able to capture my favorite Kite…. During my visit to south texas to see whooping cranes, I also traveled to several other areas and at Galveston State park in south Texas I was able to capture this beautiful white tailed kite in flight. Initially when I saw him flying over me i wasn’t sure what kind of a raptor he was but when i looked through my view finder it was almost certain I was looking at the lifer I’ve been looking for. Unfortunately i only got a brief moment and i didn’t realize that i had setup a slow shutter in the camera but im happy with most of the photos I took of the white tailed kite. And I’d love to share my favorite of all of the photos i got. I think white tailed kites have the cutest facial features of all kites. Hope you like this picture as much as I do.
Gears: Nikon Z8 + Nikon Z180-600 MM
