Swallow-tailed Kite - CR191 Tattnall County , GA

Bird is flying directly over my head. Having a smaller lens that I could hand hold made this type of shot possible. With a large lens on a tripod, it is virtually impossible to tilt it vertically to obtain an overhead shot like this.

 

Once again, this image depicts the Kite eating a bug! The birds are now fattening up for their migration back to Central and South America where they will spend the next 6-7 months before their return next March to begin the breeding season all over again.... the circle of life!!!!

 

Bird is 77.7 feet above me!
