Black-shouldered Kites (Elanus axillaris)
I've been trying to get a good photo of one of the Black-Shouldered Kites nesting by the road into Newstead. Finally succeeded the other day by walking in a ditch, whistling a silly tune and obviously looking more foolish than threatening. Also the bird was so busy holding on in the blustery conditions I think I was of secondary concern.
