Here are two recent sightings for the Swallow-tailed Kite:
"Just spotted my first-of-the-year Swallow-tailed Kite this evening at 6:25 pm - fighting the strong south wind at about 100' just north of us here at 15 Tupelo Ct. on the northwest edge of Sun City." Bob Gard 3/21/10
"Today, around 5:45 p.m. I saw a Swallow-tailed Kite circling above 51 Stratford Village Way. I believe that last year this bird was spotted in that general area." Frank Balogh 3/22/10

"Birding in Sun City can offer up some nice surprises -- In the woods out back this morning, I saw a yellow-throated warbler and a winter wren. There may be other locations where these two can occur at the same time, but it was a first for me (and a nice early Christmas present !) Happy Holidays," |
