>From what I have heard, the birds were seen from the Burr Oak State Park Lodge area, from the lakeshore. One bird was seen and then shortly after that, two birds were seen simultaneously and observed with optics on that occasion - and the identification was confirmed. They were last seen heading North (in my direction). I just returned home from all day non-birding obligations, so I will be going out now to give a look for these birds. Also, there is a spot or two around the North end of Burr Oak Lake that could attract kites to nest so I will be heading out now to scrutinize these areas. This is a huge area with limited access so re-finding these birds, even if they are still around - could prove very challenging.
