Mississippi Kite: here's looking at you

This is another specialty species I was looking for when I traveled to the lower Arkansas Valley area last week. I found this kite in La Junta where there were several others flying high in the sky. Though I took the pic from my car as I often do to reduce disturbance it heard the mechanical clicks of my digital camera and looked right down at me. Fortunately it didn't disturb it too much as it went on to scratch an itch as shown below. I suspect those claws do a good job of scratching. SeEtta
