Dozens of photos of the Highland county Swallow-tailed Kite have been uploaded by various observers to the "Ohio Birds" facebook group, and many of these show great feather details (note that viewing them does require a facebook account). Photos of the bird can also be found via the "Central Ohio Birders" facebook group (these do NOT require a facebook account for viewing): https://www.facebook.com/groups/CentralOhioBirders/search/?query=Kite Photos can also be found elsewhere on the web at photo hosting sites by searching for various combinations of keywords like Swallow-tailed Kite, Ohio, New Vienna, Highland, STKI.
