Cool birds, but what is special about a swallowed tail kite? Is it a rare bird to see in the wild nowadays?

Yes sir,
I use to be a member of Audubon until I noticed they had anti tendencies. I'm still a birder though. ANy bird that you don't see very much is considered a 'good bird ' by birders. This bird is a great bird for us Floridians.We don't see them alot.

Nice pictures. I have never heard of a swallow tail kite before. I have done a few winter bird counts for Audobon it is kind of fun.

Neat!!! Ive done one Christmas count with Audubon and got about 5 life birds with them during the count.They know their stuff. Once they found out I hunted..there was weird vibes..
The lean toward the anti hunters..

The people that i go with think that it is cool that i hunt. They really like how good i am at IDing waterfowl.
