Critique: NC:

Visited the Texas City Dike last Thursday morning...as I was making the circle at the end of the Dike, I spotted this White-tailed Kite hovering out over the small grassy area...here are a few photos...the first six are a continuous sequence of photos and the other four are random shots...as always wished that I had been just a little closer...hope you enjoy...C/C always welcomed...
