    That is interesting with the insects. Are they flies? They are pretty big flies! I would think the Kite could make a meal out of those
    two...

    Hi Shawn,
    Actually, i should have been more specific. There was a swarm of bees behind it , but there are only 2 in this frame.

    Nice catch! I like the crop and angle on the re-post more than the original.

    Ahhh, upset the bees has it....well that makes more sense than flies.
    I also prefer the composition of the second image vs the first, although the bees appear larger
    in the OP, which I prefer.
