These Swallow-tailed Kites migrate through the State of Florida, south to north, on their way through various States to Brazil. And do this every year. In the county of Alachua, Florida, there are numerous agriculture fields every year that farmers plant and grow watermelons. It seems that numerous insects and reptiles frequent these fields to eat insects. A nearby water pond is wonderful for them to get a drink of water on the fly and rinse out their mouths from the insects they also catch on the fly.
Adapted from film to digital about ten years ago. Still use my 4x5 view camera at times, love black and white photography. In 1975 I was one of 18 photographers to attend an Ansel Adams photographic work shop, Yosemite National Park, California. A wonderful experience. Turned to stock photography and was with four stock photo agencies, two in the United States and two in Europe. Down to two agencies due to the cost of converting film to digitals. Digital photography knocked out two of the agencies I was with.
