A family of White-tailed Kites at San Elijo Lagoon

While visiting Stonebridge Trail upstream from San Elijo Lagoon, I came across a tree with 5 juvenile kites! I photographed two that were out in the open a bit more.

It was an overcast morning so I increased the exposure compensation 1 full step, even though I was using spot metering.

    Oh my, 5 youngsters! I love the buffy breast of a juvenile kite. Wonderful shots! Were they screetching at all?

    They were quiet when I was there. Exciting!
