The Storm , Black Shouldered Kite
Jul 11, 2017 19:19:29 #
A group of juvenile black shouldered kites i came across sitting in a dead tree ... Lots of broken cloud so i sat and waited for the sun to peak out and a storm cloud to be behind them ... you often see large groups of juveniles working a paddock together ... with a mouse plague in the area this year i knew they would not be hard to find ... these birds will go all white with black shoulders and bright red eyes once matured .... they are not far off this group would be last years young .. canon 7d2 sigma 150-600 sport late afternoon , i had found this much loved perch in the morning sun was in my face , so i returned late afternoon and these birds were still taking off and landing at this perch

Your patience paid off big time as the light looks great in these shots. Nice work all around on these beautiful birds.
