Swallow-tailed Kite

Swallow-tailed Kite searching the pine tree branches for a snack or meal. Kites hunt on the wing, and are fond of lizards, large insects and snakes. I found a tree where the STKs have been roosting. See the *extras... I had counted 16 of them settled down, when, all of a sudden, a Pileated woodpecker flew by and spooked them into flying off. I didn't wait around for their return. A Happy Mother's Day to all you Moms out there!
