Fluidr / Swallowtail Kite drinking #4 by geno k

Spent two mornings on a pontoon boat a couple weeks ago in Florida where hundreds of kites were roosting in preparation to migrate back to South America. It was so much fun to watch them swoop down and drink from the river as they were preparing to go off to forage. I just posted 4 of my favortie action images from the trip. Thanks to our guide Scott Helfrich who has been doing this for many years.
