In one short stretch of the 9 1/2-mile long paved driveway on this South Texas ranch, there would sometimes be 10 to 20 White-tailed Kites perched 40 yards north of the road at daybreak, sometimes as many as six in one small tree. I have no idea why this one area (and no other) interested them so much, though no doubt they were migrating through in numbers, and clearly they were hunting. None that I know of stayed to nest. I was never able to get close, so this shot on a foggy morning (my first of more than 100 mornings there) ended up being my favorite WTKI on the ranch, though it doesn't compete with what I had gotten before on another property. EOS-3, 600 f4L, setup and exposure unrecorded, Provia F at 200 and pushed one stop, Wimberly head on Kirk window mount, full frame. [b]Cliff Beittel[/b]
