This morning I was birding an area known as the Ridges that runs along the
Hocking River on the outskirts of Athens, Ohio.

At 8:56 A.M.,  a Swallow-tailed Kite flew right over my head from behind me
(south) and heading in a northerly direction.  It circled twice on a thermal
with two Turkey Vultures where I had excellent looks from all angles, then
proceeded over the ridge in a northerly direction.

Later, I birded the open areas at the top of the Ridges looking over the
Hocking, but did not refind it.
