Dad teaching the fledgling the fundamentals of aerial exchanges. They

get about 6 weeks training in the art of flying and hunting then they

are on their own. No staying home for 4 years for advanced training

like humans.

It will me take me lot of time to come close to this shot. I'm still like Jr. learning when and how to initiate a shot. Very beautiful shot Monte!!!!!

I've seen quite a few shots of white tailed kites doing this kind of things but usually photos are from far away and lack detail. Seems like the background here was also cooperative

Perfect! I really admire this type of success in such a difficult discipline. My hat is off to you!

Great catch Monte! I like the fact that both bird eyes shown well, it's harder than it seems to catch good pose of these birds, IMO!  Congrats!
