Field Notes

Description:

Found in large garden. I think this is the subspecies of a Paper Kite, the one that exist on Luzon Island. If I'm wrong, somebody please correct me. Thanks.

Habitat:

Garden

Notes:

I watched this guy fly around for three days before he sat down where I could get a shot of him. I had my macro lens on my camera. I needed my telephoto lens as I could get no closer than about eight feet from him. I went with the lens I had on the camera as I knew he wouldn't sit still very long, and he didn't.
