The individual who posted yesterday's sighting (Thursday) reported only ONE
Swallow-tailed (tagged individual) and the three Mississippi Kites.
Hopefully someone has or will visit today and confirm back on status. The
researchers are tracking these birds.
Thanks.

Are the kites still being seen in Campbell County? Has anyone heard an
update?

Subject: [Va-bird] Two Swallow-tailed Kites in Campbell County
Two adult Swallow-tailed Kites have been observed in Campbell County for
three days. A local resident saw what he identified as a Swallow-tailed
Kite on Saturday, August 13. He decided to go back the next day (Sunday)
to
see if he could re-locate the bird. The weather was poor that day and he
did not see it again. However, he called me that night to report the
previous day's sighting and I asked if he could meet me at the site the
next
day. We arranged to meet at 4:00 pm and when I arrived, he told me that
he
had observed TWO Swallow-tailed Kites over the nearby field less than 30
minutes ago. We drove out to the field, and there they were! We watched
the two birds for almost an hour and I contacted Rexanne Bruno who
arrived
in time to see them also. My husband and I went back the next day
(August
16) at 3:00 pm and the birds were feeding over the field. So, one
Swallow-tailed Kite was observed on August 13 (although Dave Dawson, the
person who made the initial report, said that two birds may have been
present on August 13). No birds were found on August 14.
Two Swallow-tailed Kites were observed on both August 15 and 16. All
sightings have been made between 3:00 pm and 5:00 pm. The birds have
been
seen soaring and feeding over a large field.
Directions: The farm field is in Campbell County, off of Long Island
Road
(Route 761) about 2 miles from Gladys. From Route 501 traveling south,
turn
right on Long Island Road (Rt. 761). Drive 2.2 miles and turn left at
the
driveway of a farm that has "For Sale" signs (Remax Real Estate) on each
side of the driveway. Continue on the driveway past the house, bearing
to
the right on the farm road. Drive through the first gate (it is open)
and
follow the road on across the field about a third of a mile to the next
gate. Park there. The Swallow-tailed Kites were seen feeding over the
fields through which you just drove. The farm belongs to the McKinney
family and they have given permission for people to come on to their
property to look for the kites.
