Sandy-in-Alaska-100x-1002This Swallow-Tailed Kite soars in silently and seems to appear out of thin air and disappears just as silently. I have learned it is because this striking bird of prey, rarely flaps it's wings. It changes directions as it swoops in the air overhead by rotating it's tail feathers!
