Tells much about the bird. I saw Kites in Italy a few years ago. They are all over the ruins in Rome like we have House finches or Euro. Starlings or something. Nearly a nuicanse. To me though they were an awesome addition the the overwhelming sights and sounds of Rome. Figures I'd be there in the epicenter of our human history and focusing on the birds, nonetheless. :)Robin Robinsonhttp://robins-chaos.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14327569.post-66549135436131330992011-03-29T06:20:39.075-05:002011-03-29T06:20:39.075-05:00Terrific shots of the Kites!!
