Black-winged Kite


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:


The Black-winged Kite (Elanus caeruleus) is a small diurnal bird of prey in the family Accipitridae best known for its habit of hovering over open grasslands in the manner of the much-smaller kestrels. This Eurasian and African species was sometimes combined with the Australian Black-shouldered Kite (Elanus axillaris) and the White-tailed Kite (Elanus leucurus) of North and South America which together form a superspecies. This kite is distinctive, with long-wings, white, grey and black plumage and owl like forward-facing eyes with red irides. Although mainly seen on the plains, they are sometimes seen on grassy slopes of hills in the higher elevation regions of Asia. They are not migratory, but make short-distance movements in response to weather.

Hello Jose,
A great shot of this beautiful Kite as he seems to be frozen in space with talons in the ready position. Excellent detail and wonderful natural colors.

Bonjour Jose,
Le cadrage me semble un peu trop large pour apprécier la finesse des détails et la délicatesse des couleurs mais le sujet est tout de même relativement bien valorisé, dans une très belle attitude saisie à l'instant décisif, grâce à sa formidable opposition sur l'arrière plan.
A bientôt sur TN pour de nouvelles aventures.
Gérard
