White-tailed Kite Video 4

The White-tailed Kite continues for the 29th day. Since I put up more photos yesterday I figured why not a fourth video today! This is the longest so far, nearly 2 minutes shot from August 17 through August 28. It features, almost in order, the kite diving, interacting with gulls and terns, hovering, scratching itself in mid-air, sitting on the beach, and ends with it perched on a tree snag. All but the last parts of it sitting on the snag are from Stratford Point, with that being from Short Beach in Stratford.
