Willis, TX(Zone 8b)

This was shot near Houston Texas today. The closest I can find in my bird books is a Swainson's Hawk.

He was flying around with a bunch of these Mississippi Kites (I think.) They were catching bugs and this one is showing me his last capture... :O)

Cool Hawk, and very good shots. How about posting them in the Daily Pics thread?

Thanks Gardenpom. I will post them there if I can find that thread.

Oops. I put them in the wrong place - in the Photos > Daily Pics thread. Next time I'll know.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. Post them also in the Birdwatching Daily Pics, so all us birdlovers can enjoy them.
