I have the pure joy of shooting a Swallow Tailed Kite nesting area and the thrill of just viewing them in flight breath taking enough but to walk away with high quality images too!! Too much.

Swallow Tailed Kite Nest in Ft. Lauderdale !
On my way home from a Doctors appointment I happened across a Swallow Tailed Kite that flew in front of my car in a very busy and public place! I pulled over and watched in amazement as this graceful Kite flew at some bushes and caught a dragonfly. The Kite soared and flew closer to me than I have ever been to a Kite. I, OF COURSE, had no camera in hand and I was miles away from getting it! I took advantage of the beauty of the Swallow Tailed Kite following it with my binoculars. After it caught another dragonfly, I saw it fly to a lone Australian Pine. While I thought it was to stop and eat its catch, it was in reality to land on a nest with it's mate already there! I felt weak for a moment and was STUNNED that this nest is in such a populated area and with such easy access! 
Of course I went back later in the day with camera in hand and managed to get a few images.
