I walked in from Telegraph Road on the asphalt hiker-biker trail about 10:00 this morning, just for a stroll, I had forgotten about kites. A non-birder on the trail asked me "what's the rarest bird you've seen today" and I answered "so far, La. Waterthrush" (near the overgrown clearing with pines, no water in sight, I have seen one there other summers) and went on with the pro-bird/ing propaganda that one employs in these encounters. We got to the deck at the marsh end of the trail, I gave the guy binocular looks at RW Blackbird and Great Egret, he had to go, and what I believe were two adult Miss. Kites began to soar, tails flared, over my side of the marsh. There was a crowd of birders on the observation tower on the boardwalk side of the marsh, but no one has reported today's sighting yet, so here it is.
