Black-shouldered Kite

It's a Black Shouldered Kite (Elanus) - Chick on a Fig tree in Hula Lake, Israel on 21st Nov.,2011.
It's one of the first four Elanus chicks ever been in Israel before! The adult couple migrated to Israel in 2011, settled in Hula Lake and was nesting there. The chick is just 2 weeks after his first flight from the nest and it seems that he is not sure what to do with the prey, a vole.
