Well Danno, not sure how I missed being at least 5th on this post buddy but with ANT back the first several spots, or pages for that matter are quick to go
There has been a lot of good spoken here on these and righfully so. I would have been afraid to miss the exposure and had a 'Holy Silhouette' of the year! A fantastic event to have witnesses let alone recorded. How cool is that buddy, congrats on an awesome series

Holy Cow is right...What a lucky ( right spot at the right time ) catch, you don't see that, that often I bet. It's obvious what that second bird is after but what the hell is with the third bird 
Looks like he's gonna grab that other bird on the shoulders. Then theres a fourth bird, gesh...
Whats the diff between the two lighter colored breasts and the one's with the brown spots, age ?
Nice shots.

Dan, these are astounding! Not one, not two, not three, but four white-tailed kites in action. This cannot be a common happening. Sure hope you submit this series to any/every publication you can think of. Awesome

Wonderful Captures Dan!
I'm sure you are aware that the Kites with the color on them are the juveniles.
Pretty cool captures and what a sequence to get them all!
Congrats!!

Dan you have captured an amazing sequence here, and captured it very well too.
Don't let the kids, (Ant and Chad), spoil this post for you... 
Ron
Thank you very much Ron. Those two kids seem to behave rather well for now, TG. They must have taken their meds.

Thank you Alan. I hope you'll get those Redtails in the same actions. That would be even better.

I love looking at these every time! Well I went there to find them Dan, they were way way way too far for my 400mm. They looked like mosquitoes for me! Thanks for the directions anyway. I got a nice tan. Haha!!

Dan...
Simply incredible. To pick white birds out of a light sky, with great detail is tough. Then add that they're coming at you...
Just incredible.

I've seen this behavior often with the White-tailed Kites that follow fishing boats. It's always great fun to throw a bait fish up into the air and watch them fight over it and they often steal from each other.
I'm not surprised to see the same behavior in these amazing Sea Gull shots you've posted in this series Phenomenal captures, Sir!
