I took quite a few photos of this bird, a Whistling Kite. He was showing me many different poses. Here are just some.

The Whistling Kite looks like its been for a swim and calling for help! Certainly looks like a juvenile.

It was squawking out and opening and closing his beak. Seemed distressed. Maybe calling for its parents

Has this kite been swimming? Do they really whistle?
