I love how the kites can hover in one spot. I can watch them do this for hours. Kinda like flying kites. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3183715504165424635.post-91690357464041943052009-04-14T07:48:00.000+02:002009-04-14T07:48:00.000+02:00Hi Bernie,

What I would call an oooh-aaah bird when you see it up close ;-)<br /><br />DaleDale Forbeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17898040644854359126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3183715504165424635.post-15619607880985834182009-04-14T00:55:00.000+02:002009-04-14T00:55:00.000+02:00We have white kites on the west coast of north ame...We have white kites on the west coast of north america.
