Thank you so much Sir Ely! I know once you get to see it, you will be able to share better photos of this lovely avian.

Great catch there Edu, love the full wingspread and the landing pose. Maybe it's just my monitor but I can see heavy cast of Magenta color.

THank you Sir Rey, that is the kind of comment I look for. I will try to adjust the color balance when I get home. Hehehe Gabs, am still to process the Kite I shot. Thank you, Alain. I was not able to confirm with Bob if this was indeed the same site.

Woohoo! Great capture, Edu! Like Gabs. I don't want to post my shots anymore. ;D
@alain, we got this about 100 feet up the road from where we saw it earlier. It was the same place where Toto and Dennis saw it.
