I captured this beautiful bird after he skimmed the surface of the water getting a drink.

I like the dripping water and the tail almost touching the water surface ...
Nice inflight, Kathy!

Kathy, water dripping from beak really tells the story, so interesting to see the Kite flying so close to the water, wonderful behavior shot.
