Hello All,
        Shelly, Tori and I were finally able to chase the kites today after
the weather interrupted our plans for last weekend.  It was well worth the
wait.  We arrived around 10:45 AM and quickly had one and then three
Mississippi Kites.  One or two would appear every 15 minutes or so until we
left at noon.  The Swallow-Tailed gave us a nice show being in view from
11:35 - 11:46 AM and at one point coming directly overhead.  Both birds were
state birds for Shelly and I.  And they make some pretty good birds to start
Tori's list with, though I doubt she will remember :)

Thanks again to Sean and his neighbors for sharing these wonderful birds.

Good Birding,
Glen, Shelly and Tori Lovelace
Seaford, DE
