A quick note about the Swallow-tailed Kites and dark morph Red-tailed Hawk
seen yesterday at Leconte Woodmanston: Leconte seems to be a good place to
see Swallow-tails: Gail Whalen (the manager there)has seen them on a regular
basis, and yesterday we saw as many as four at one time.  With regard to the
dark-morph Red-tail: dark phases are more common in the western U.S. and I
don't know how common they are here in the east, but I haven't seen too
many, so it was a real treat to see one yesterday.  Two of us saw it.  It
had the "red-tail silhouette" and luckily, it began vocalizing, which erased
any doubt of identification.
