[EBB Sightings] White-Tailed Kites and Kestrel

Just confirming Dennis Braddy's sighting of white-tailed kites. I am
assuming that Dennis and I are walking our dogs in the same area - near
Bollinger Elementary School. If Dennis is walking elsewhere, perhaps San
Ramon is home to more than 1 family of kites! Anyway, I had been watching 2
juveniles when one gave a call. Almost immediately an adult flew into view
with a mouse in his talons. The 2 juveniles and a third (don't know if it
was adult or juvenile) chased the food provider. The adult with the mouse
didn't strive to keep the others away - it was clearly making a mid-air
delivery. 

This morning the kites were less active but an American Kestrel was hunting
in the same area.
