The Kite hovers in the sky, head motionless in space, its wings beating -- gaze fixed on the swampy grassland below, looking for movement: a Vole?
The English word "kite" was first applied to a bird like this -- only later to the paper-and-stick, string-tethered windcatcher that hovers and flaps in the sky, like this Kite.
I saw no successful hunt this morning. But the beauty and joy of the Kite's movements counted for something -- for the Kite too?
Unabashedly anthropomorphizig...
Here are several photos of the Kite I saw this mornig. Its argument with the Crows. Its hunt, kiting stationless in the sky. And its resting, often on a perch with a good view.
