Swallow-tailed kite, rain shower (Elanoides forficatus)

Witnessed a couple of these Swallow-tailed kites patrolling the skies at treetop level around Morales, TX. Morales is the kind of town that doesn't have any stop lights, but you have to slow down to 55 from 70. Less than 500 people, but the raptor game of this small town is exceptional. Sorry for the multiple posts.

What a lovely kite - they're so dapper, these guys, aren't they Ken.

That's a super picture you've taken of him lad - very well done.
