Snail Kite

Here is something other than hummingbird images. This Male Snake kite was photographed on a very small lake less than five minutes from my house, the water levels were very low and a the snails were plentyfull.

The bird and the perch look great! Love the warm light. Perfect eye contact. I would probably crop a bit off the top, remove the OOF branch running behind the bird's head, and darken the light area in front of the bird.
