Cleared For Take Off

Cleared For Take Off (Elanus caeruleus)

A split second later he took off. Should have anticipated that & tried a lift off shot. Another lost opportunity.

I have uploaded a video of him, which I captured just before this still shot. Link : http://www.birdforum.tv/members/action/viewvideo/6871/Black_winged_Kite/?vpkey=

LOL.... happens all the time to me SK! You'd think we'd be prepared for it by now, wouldn't you.

A super shot of a really magnificent and beautiful kite. Many thanks lad.

Your video has linked perfectly - thank you my friend. We still can't link your other one though, as the copper and smith need to be one word I'm afraid... can you bear to edit the title again?

Thanks so much for editing the title again SK... it now links perfectly through Opus.
 
From the pose, you can feel it's going to take off. Great timing in this image of a kite SK. I like the glowing red eye.
