On unseen air currents, the #Black-ShoulderedKite manipulates his terrain masterfully. Losing no focus, he does not waver. Suddenly, like a falling stone, directed by unseen forces, he pounces on his prey. The #raptor has his quarry. One less rat!

(I didn't manage to get the final assault)

An immature Black-shouldered Kite. Adults are pure white with grey upper and black shoulders. No threat to the ducks below preferring mice and insects. Ready for the evening hunt it stretched then waggled, rising on the breeze.
