Swallow-tailed Kite - a photo on Flickriver

            The Buff-breasted Sandpiper was not the only unusual bird last weekend.  For the previous week, at least, three Swallow-tailed Kites had been reported at Columbia Bottoms Conservation area, southwest of the Missouri/Mississippi confluence.  My friends and I weren's sure they would stick around for the weekend, but as luck would have it they did.  They put on quite a show for us, as they have for many other birders and photographers during their visit.  Looking at eBird, I see that at least one was still there as of yesterday, so they may still be around.  The Buffy is long gone.
