A pair of brown birds of prey, sitting on a tree branch, side by side. Their yellow beaks have a black tip. Both look into the same direction.

Two kites above each other. One still has its wings stretched, soaring. One still has to re-gain a flight position and is hanging in the air, rather inelegantly.
Two black kites, seconds after fighting in the air. I wish I could have captured the second before when they were holding each other by their talons, while spinning downwards.

A brown raptor, perched on a tree branch, surrounded by spring leaves. The bird has a sharp, yellow beak and intense eyes, with its feathers displaying a mix of dark and lighter brown tones. The background is a clear blue sky.

I stopped my car, tried to take a picture, but the kite flew to another pole where the crow followed it. So I quickly took a picture (the one above). I wish it had been better, but I couldn't wait more. Indeed, the black kite flew away after. Its tail was missing quite a few feathers. There's […]

A black kite flying at low altitude and checking me and the crows-by-the-sea out.
One of the crows-by-the-sea on the seawall. There are the estuary, a bridge and a few buildings behind, as well as a few hills further in the distance.
One of the crows-by-the-sea on a utility cable and looking at me.
The crows-by-the-sea definitely spy on me. Every time I go for a walk in their territory they will eventually show up, usually at the same spot by the estuary (should I rename them the crows-by-the-estuary?)

A bunch of eagles flying in the sky.
The eagles, the eagles are coming!!!!
(black kites, really)
They were heading to the estuary, it probably was low tide and some fish got stranded again.
The neighborhood's crows don't approve of such gatherings.
