The Hunter Returns

Black-shouldered Kite (Elanus axillaris) male female

 

As soon as the fog lifted this morning I headed down to Sneydes Rd. My Flickr mate David had visited yesterday and caught a glimpse of two, possibly three chicks in the nest. I can't confirm the third for sure but I am convinced I saw three. Of course I was there at the wrong time of day for the light to be of much assistance.

I'm not sure whether Bronson had caught a largish mouse or a smallish rat here. He and Belle sat here for quite a while and I had to head for home. As I left the area I turned to look back and saw her fly to the nest to feed the young.
