I drove through the Kings Park subdivision, BRIEFLY, twice this afternoon;
once about 1:45 and again about 5:30. I also drove down Burke Lake Rd. past
Ox Rd.and back. I saw no kites at any time. HOWEVER, I totally agree with
Bob Augustine about there being kites in that area. He and I have been
seeing kites, and nests, there for several years and there are surely
several nests in the general area. Last summer (late July and into August)
I counted at least seven kites (including adults, juveniles, and sub-adult
birds) on at least 2 or 3 occasions. I believe kites should be not difficult
to see in that area before too long.
