More White Tailed Kites

Nikon D7100 and 200-500mm f5.6 lens.
First two shots on tripod with Nikon 1.4 III TC stopped down to f11. In flight shots hand held without the TC at f7.1. Distance 30 to 40 yards.
The last shots show the pair from almost 100 yards. I'm not sure whether this "transfer" of a prey item is a theft or "sharing."

Super set. I would love to know if that is normal, sharing prey, or not.

I think it is normal, to allow the male to go off quickly to catch another;
