Nice, thanks for the ID. Had my camera been a 40x zoom, would this have been a unique occurrence to photograph?

PoorMatty:The bird on the right looks like a juvenile Mississippi kite.  Where was this taken again?  I'm in NW Forida. Here's one more..

  I'm really hating my camera right now. Even with a 20x zoom, it just doesn't have what it takes to get raptors sitting in high tree tops. GAWD! Anyway.. It looks like a red tailed on the left, but what is that on the right? Male/female of same? I just wondered because the one on the right looks gray. So my other thought was I got 2 ...

I kinda liked mine till I saw yours. ha My problem was I was at full zoom (20x) and yeah, I can just go ahead and know that it won't be great quality.

As far as the bird freaking out your kids. Try taking them to a pet store and let them pet some friendly birds. Maybe your kids will make some kind of positive association or something or at least help withh the freaking out thing...

Me and my dad had just left his new house built on a river here in FL. It was meaningful because the house next door belonged to his late parents and he helped them with it when they built it and I have fond memories of visiting there as a child etc... We were heading home.. So we went over the bridge for the river and were going about 65mph and I ...
