After saying how difficult it is to catch Kites swooping for prey, I hunted through my files and came up with the ONLY ONE photo I have ever taken of a kite swooping on prey. 

Now to achieve this image I was concealed in my car in 30deg heat for about 2 hours. I got through 2 packs of luncheon meat ...not for me, but bait. By the end of it, the kites were either too stuffed to come back or sick and tired of luncheon meat. anyway this was pretty near the end of the luncheon meat.

Footnote: I replaced the luncheon meat slice in the image with a dead blackbird .....
....which I happened to have in my possession at the time. :devil:

(Come on.....I couldn't leave a slice of luncheon meat in the frame!!!!!)o.O
