I've been watching a couple of white-tailed kites for the past several months. I watched the first one arrive in the area, begin hunting, and nesting. Then she? attracted a mate. I've been completely fascinated and inspired by them. /1

Then the babies hatched, and in the past few days they've learned to fly. There are four of them. I rented a massive camera lens and took a few shots yesterday. So here are some pics of juvenile white-tailed kites for your viewing pleasure. /3pic.twitter.com/L9tIve4VlZ

The adults have a completely grayscale color pattern, but the juveniles have a cinnamon splash. /4
