Glad you described what happened. Thought the upper bird was eating the lower one. They both have a nice pose on them.

Great job is right. Both heads are visible and sharp. Not much you could do about the branches though. Details and colors look great. Well done Ann

Hello Ann,
Great action photo - you must have had plenty of perseverance to pull this off!
I see that the female is ringed - are these birds endangered in the US.
Regards,
Rob

Thanks Robert,
yes most of the kites during that day shoot were ringed. The snail kite is a locally endangered species in the Florida Everglades, with a population of less than 400 breeding pairs. Research has demonstrated that water-level control in the Everglades is depleting the population of apple snails. However, this species is not generally threatened over its extensive range.
