    Here is another image of the California white-tailed kite. This is a juvenile bird. Typically very difficult to get close to and where the extra pixels of the D850 come to your help. I got quite lucky this bird tolerated my presence (still at least 20 yards away) and chose a pretty perch

    This is my favorite white-tailed kite frame of yours. The light is super sweet. The pose and perch are very nice as well.

    Awesome shot. I think this is one of my favorite kite shots of yours. The pose is perfect on a great perch. Sweet light and IQ. The BG color matches the perch colors too which is cool. TFS

    Love the light on this beautiful White-tailed Kite, Arash. Great pose with that curious stare.

    Love your WTK images Arash, and this one is no exception. Getting close is a challenge, and you did well here.

    Very Nice Arash! She sure let you get close. We have been getting more and more Kites out here the last year or two but they are still pretty sketchy. Well done and Happy New Years
    Come join me for a Custom Raptor Workshop starting this November 2019- January 2020.
    P.M. me to inquire on dates, pricing and availabilities. Thank You.
