Another Mississippi Kite image taken in my front yard. If you look closely, you can see the Cicada in the kite's talons. In this image, he is just beginning to eat the Cicada.

Cool action shot Jerry. I like seeing the extended foot holding the cicada.

Hi Jerry
Nice looking Kite. I would have been tempted to bring up the exposure under the wings, I think this shot looks good.
