Dan,
I was there yesterday (Friday) from 2:30 to 5:30 but did not see the Kite. But it was breezy and the insects were low to the water, as judged by the Tree Swallow forays, so I doubt that the dragonflies were up high enough to attract the Kite. That's just a hypothesis.

Anyone had any luck observing the kite lately?
Thanks!
And my son and I kayaked around our community if Amberley this morning. We
enjoyed:
-several Osprey with hatchlings, none visible... But lots of overprotective
parents.
-singing Baltimore Oriole
-Green and Great Blue Heron
-Three Catbirds and a Mockingbird
-an Eastern Kingbird, Great-crested Fly and Eastern Wood Pewee
-Barn Swallows galore.
-House Sparrow. A new bird for our community, but technically it was across the
creek... :)
Interesting, sad rather, to watch three marauding Fish Crows as they went from
dock to dock raiding Barn Swallow nests underneath. A dock would be silent and
birdless, and when the crows arrive to poach from the nests, 20 or so swallows
would bolt out from under the pier.
