White-tailed Kite pictures

Here are some White-tailed Kite photos...because, well, it's a White-tailed Kite in Connecticut. Even though this is the beginning of day 29 it is still staggering to think of this bird even being within 500 miles of New England. The first two are from me while the other three are from, once again, Scott Vincent - thanks! Mine were shot on August 28, one in the morning on the beach at Stratford Point and the other on a snag in the evening at Short Beach. Mr. Vincent's are from the evening of August 27 at Stratford Point.
