Adult Kite With Cicada Snack
I was happy to discover that adult kites were also using this tree to perch. I saw this one fly in & went to check it out. Love having this just 3 houses away from my home. Thought it was a food delivery but there were no juveniles in the tree at that moment. Tried out my kite whistle & got "the look" again. They don't seem to be disturbed or alarmed by my presence, but I do get a curiosity vibe.
