Description
Early this morning I saw Mama Mississippi Kite leave the nest and land in a nearby tree. So I got this shot of her on the left.
I looked for Junior and he wasn't in the nest but in a branch about 5 feet northwest of his perch yesterday. So he must have used some wing flapping and hopping to get there. One step closer to taking to the air for the first time!
Better in full view. Thanks very much for your views, comments and faves. :)

the young is more beautiful than it's mother. both are very sharp captures
Wonderful shots, both of them and I like the shapes of the streamlined mother :-)
Both are beautiful shots! I am really enjoying watching this series and seeing the circle of life playing out before us, thanks to you!
Marvellous to watch all this, Thankyou Maria!
very nice bird shots
Great shots.
My he is growing fast. Another great piece of your life you are so generous to share Tex. Well done.
Excellent capture!
Mum's a real beauty! Excellent shots of the both of them!
Wow, the mother is a real beauty, Maria. And, Junior is looking more and more unbabylike as you continue recording his development. I wonder if he's eager to take to the air and snatch up his own grasshoppers. Really cool photos of the pair.
Beautiful capture !!!
A proud mom... Nice shot. Aloha
Two excellent photos here!
Beautiful capture.
Very nice!
Superb captures and collage Maria. God bless.
Junior looks ready to go with his feathers all puffed up! Wonderful collage!
