Swallow-tailed Kite (Elanoides forficatus)
Author's comments:
Esta ave, hasta ayer totalmente desconocida para mí, es realmente magnífica no solo por el perfil aerodinámico que presenta en vuelo, sino también por el excelente contraste de colores del plumaje y por la maestría y velocidad con que ejecuta las acrobacias aéreas.
Todo un espectáculo digno de verse.
