A Hover-Hunting White-Tailed Kite
by Steve Wolfe (trailhiker)
Camera: Pentax K10D
Location: Huntington Beach, California
United States of America
Photographer Notes: A small hawk, White-tailed Kites hunt from the air, staying in one spot then dropping down on the ground to their prey. This juvenile (note the brown chest band) held position in this same spot for a good 20 seconds, affording me a chance to get good sharp shots of its hunting technique. Taken with the Sigma "Bigma" 50-500mm lens, ISO 200, f7.1, 1/1000 sec @ 500mm.
