This pair of Kites is one of at least two pair nesting in my area. This image was made after a rival bird approached the nest area of these two. A ruckus took place, after which this pair joined each other on their favorite perch. Cropped image, removed one small branch, lightened the eyes as much as I dared and did my best to handle the harsh light and poor IQ that my equipment produces
