The SW Kite and I are just not on the same schedule!  Looked for 3 hours at the 
end of the day FRI and nearly all day SUN with no luck - then looked from 5 pm 
until dark tonight - no luck!
Did find:

redtail hawk (at least 2)
harrier (at least 2 fe. and 1 male)
osprey (at least 2, saw one grab a 4" fish and abscond w/ it!)

imm bk crowned night heron (at least 7)
4 snowy egrets (and many great)
gr. bl. and green herons

pectoral, semi-palm, and least sandpipers
pair of blue grosbeaks
2 coveys of bobwhite (one had at least 3 male and 1 female, the other had at 
least 3 individuals)

Great area - am sure species list would be longer if not for main focus being 
kite hunting - I am in OH this weekend, but if it is re-found, please post - 
maybe I can get back out there from FT Knox next week.

Also - are the bobwhites out there released birds or are they "countable"?
