Swallow-tailed Kite Bird Flying by Moon in Sky

I’m starting to see more Sallow-tailed Kites flying in the Florida sky. In fact there has been multiple times where there were four together flying in groups. Of all the birds that I’ve photographed I find these the hardest to get a good exposure. Normally when I photograph white birds I would under expose my camera to get detail in the feathers and for darker birds I would do the opposite. But the Swallow-tailed Kite is both black and white which makes it difficult to get detail in both areas at the same time.
