Kite Sighting

Rush Creek, Novato, CA

This guy was actually across a field and almost not visible from the path, as he was so far away.
Paul and I saw the movement of the white head and in looking through the lens could see what he was.
This is all the way out at 500mm, plus cropped considerably.

Nikon D50 ,Tamron SP AF 200-500mm f/5-6.3 Di LD (IF)

Very nice shot. Even though you were a distance away, I am sure he saw you just fine as it looks like he is giving you the eye.
