Just heard from Glenn Wyatt that Kenny Nations found a Swallow-tailed Kite at the refuge this morning. If you go, check above the trees and the open fields. It was seen and photographed south of Huntsman Road flying above the trees. Glenn last saw it heading southeast along Overflow Creek Rd (about a mile south of Birch Pond).
The Mississippi Kites were quite numerous mid-day yesterday over the Central Agri Fields. We counted 28 but, as hard as we tried, we couldn't turn any into a Swallow-tailed. What a difference a day makes.
