Congratulations Anita Rakestraw
Mississippi Kite
I've never seen one of these before, so when I spotted this one just up the road from my house, I was excited! He/she flew off the first evening but stayed put the next time. I know, bad angle, could be sharper, that darned wire, etc., and my aperture and shutter speed are awful - I'd been shooting macro last on the camera and was in such a hurry to get this kite before it left that I forgot to notice my settings!! I have some other head turns but chose to post this one because the wire is a little less prominent here than in some of the others.

1DMkIII, 500mm w/2x ext., fl 1000
ISO 400, 1/60, f/40 (!!) BLUBB on car window
