The Kites have fledged and are hunting on their own. When one gets a rodent the others chase behind and try and take it away. It makes a spectacular air show but of course not always within camera range- usually not.  The trick is multiple shooting sessions and a lot of luck.               Photos of Larry by Ray Spencer
