Hi Greg,

The kites were moving directly West when I lost them, but I believe they 
were originally North bound.  They were circling fairly lazily at about 
100 feet from the ground.  There were Purple Martins and American Crows 
in this small funnel of birds, so perhaps they were feeding.  I did not 
see them catch anything.

I probably could have observed them a lot longer if I had not slammed the 
trunk closed with my keys inside.  I really regret my clumsiness.

Good birding (hawking?),
