    Default Snail kite chase 2

    Another image from Florida with Jim Neiger. The mystery bird which looks like a RWBB but with no red patches was harassing the kite

    1D4 500mm f/4 1/1600sec ISO 800

    Here is a larger version for better details (for better viewing only, no saving/ download please) If you look carefully there is a tiny red spot on the upper wing of the mystery bird.

    FANTASTIC!!! I think I even prefer this one over the previous as there is more of an interaction and the two birds are closer. Pretty amazing you managed to got so many amazing shots in one trip!!!!!

    I agree with Ofer...I like this one even better! This image, to me, confirms this as being a RWBB...

    Very cool!!!

    Excellent! The small bird couldn't have been in a better position with the curve of its wings matching that of the Kite's fanned tail. And the look on the Kite's face says it all!.... One of your best.

    Arash, you just keep turning them out - winner after winner. Great timing to capture this action, and I like the wing position of the little guy. Having said that, cool open beak pose from the kite too.

    Great action shot. You had a very productive day(s) with Jim. Apart from the action, I like the soft monotone background of this image.

    Amazing action again! Really like the angry expression on the kite. And the creamy background.

    Yes a winner indeed. My only suggestion would be to increase the color temperature a few points.
