Black Shoulder Kite

One of the unique characteristic of Black Shoulder Kite is their ability to hover. Watch them hover really made my day.
I like this photo very much!


Another photo in animated sequence showing the take-off.

Little Heron Celebrate Mothers Day

Saw this pair of little heron having a conversation on Mothers Day. The adult Little Heron was perching on the fender on top of a monsoon canal.
The juvenile Little heron with dull brown plumage after several failed hunting looking at his mother for help.The chick " Mom, I couldn't get any fish and are very hungry, can you give me some thing to eat?"

"I am really hungry!"
The mother heron " My son, don't you know today is Mothers Day? You should instead get some fish for me!"The chick quietly move away and try to catch some fish...

That's my boy!!
