Mississippi Kite (Ictinia mississippiensis)

This guy has been teasing me flying low over the pickleball courts. The one time I dragged out the camera he flew away over the trees. I was on my way home this morning and stopped by after a brief visit to the park. I was about to give up when he showed up. Unfortunately he came from the sun side so a lot of shadows.
