Soaring at Sunset

            An Australian Square-tailed Kite, endemic to the coastal north of the Northern Territory, soars before the setting sun over a primordial canopy of Eucalyptus and gum trees, looking for an evening snack.

I was surprised at the sheer number of kites in this area.  They look remarkably similar to Red Milan kites found in Europe.

Photographed at Kakadu National Park, east of Darwin.  Crop-only from the NEF file.
