Here's another installment in my White-tailed Kite story. So, there has been plenty of nest building. Remember, work work work. Make a little love, eat, gather nest material, fend off intruders. The story is getting more variety now. Here, the two would-be parents seem to be discussing what to do with the mousie catch the male on the left has just brought in. Usually, it's carried and exchanged via talon but this starts out where they both have a beak on it. Shortly though, she takes it, gets a talon grip, and flies off to where the hidden nest is in the next tree over. Starting to think there may be more mouths to feed.
