Only caught 2 small bass today but I got a picture to send to the local Audubon Society..Here are 12 Swallow Tailed Kites..

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.

I think that is pretty neat Chuck, I have never heard tell of them before..
I have the same opion as Chuck when it comes to those people..

One of the last times I was with them I ask where I could see an Eastern Bluebird for my lifelist..They told me to go to the Green Swamp WMA ..

Now, I haven't hunted in maybe 15 years and I gets a thinkin....with a smile in my inner most being..WHy can't I carry binoculars and a 12 guage shotgun..LOL I might bring some food home to mama..
and I did..
