Title: Swallow Tail Kites
Post by: charlieparrish on July 26, 2010, 08:26:33 AM

I am not the photographer that Shad is...but I saw this scene out the back door this morning. 20 Swallow Tail Kites all together in the old cedar tree, they stayed there for the better part of an hour..wish I had a good camera and knew how to use it.

That is a neat scene and a neat tree! Haven't seen one of those since moving fro the Gulf Coast!

These bad boys will make a bird choke if he catches him in the right mood. Its just as effective as a crow call, or any other loud mouth bird out there
