I stopped by both Sharon Woods & Blendon Woods yesterday, and found some unusual birds.

Not my sighting.  Per Ben Warner, the SWALLOW-TAILED KITE is still present at 7521 New Vienna Rd in Highland County and putting on a show as of 10am.

The homeowners, the Weavers, are very nice people and understanding.  The roads - New Vienna, Jones, and Connell - where the bird has been hanging out are unmarked country roads - lightly traveled and with wide shoulders to pull over, but there is still traffic, including farm equipment.  Please be respectful and careful when observing this magnificent visitor!
