1 Guess I'll Have To Eat It Myself
Right after the blue jay ran Brother out of the tree, a parent showed up with another big cicada. No baby kite waiting for food. Parents have lots of tricks up their sleeves so this time the adult decided to teach the lesson that if you don't show up for your food, someone else will eat it. This is the first time I've captured the pretty red feathers in an adult kite's wings, they don't often show.
