Mississippi Kites

I mentioned I’ve been seeing a couple of Mississippi Kites for the past few days. This afternoon there are four sitting on the bare branches I can see from my porch. Even my long lens on the good camera are useless at this distance.

 

If you look straight up from the end of the shed you’ll see two black dots… that’s two of the four. I thought I’d try shooting thru the spotting scope… one of my first tries…

 

Then I tried zooming..

 

And this…

 

Quality is pretty bad… but I’m not going to complain…
