Swallow-Tailed Kite Bird

The swallow tailed kite can easily be spotted soaring over mountains and valleys in Costa Rica. Similar to hawks and falcons, it hunts from the sky. Interestingly, it often eats it prey while in flight. For more birds and wildlife, please subscribe.

great video, excellent work.
we have these here in East Central ,Florida , part of the year. Usually flying lazy circles way up, but I did get to see one very close , about 10 feet off the ground, zigging and zagging to avoid colliding with trees, road signs, and my truck....thanks.

Makes me happy, too :)

The bird shown at l:23 was obviously wounded. Gingerly putting weight on its right leg; blood all over the plumage!

Left* it didn't look wounded in the shots leading up to it.
