Swallow Tailed Kites at Rebecca's in Florida

My dream was to see a swallow tailed kite.  Well Holly made that happen 3 different times. 

We went to Rebecca's to see the wood ducks laying eggs in the nest boxes.  When suddenly through the trees come 2 swallow tailed kites. 

You will find double clicking the photos you can see them larger.

loved seeing them come through the trees. 





Was really happy to get to see the top colour of the kite.   Amazing slade blue

cool


An experience of a lifetime.  Two of them soaring in her back yard.  One landed in a tree.  It only lasted maybe a minute but it was exciting.
