Whistling Kite

at the top of this Casuarina

looking out over the lake


where something was making a lot of noise a long way out; a school of fish, or could it have been a ray under there?  A long strip of movement?







it heard a bird calling from this side

thanks for visiting Snap Happy Birding, and for leaving a comment; I can still see them. Now both my blogs are resting in idle mode. It was time to give other things priority, even though I miss my regular blogging and the feedback that came my way over the years. Take care.
