Ed stepped out of the Lark this morning and looked up and with his "eagle eyes".... shouted; we have Swallow-tailed Kites overhead. I really don't look up enough.
We grabbed the cameras and bins and took off for the woods. These birds hunt over marshes and woods, just like our Audubon site. They are in this area, but hard to spot.
Sure enough, within 15 minutes we eventually located a "kettle" of about 8 birds. They are large raptors and are about the size of buzzards. They came, we shot, they went.... LIFER #2 for the trip.
Not many good pictures, they fly about 35MPH and they don't sit down much!
