Tuesday 8-26-03

The Swallow-tailed Kite  was observed again today from the end of the S 5 
road on the Sinclair unit of the Peabody WMA in Muhlenberg County. For 
several minutes it worked the hill for dragonflies on the northwest side of 
the S 5 road. It was observed at one time quarreling with a Cooper's Hawk 
before sailing high in the sky and out of sight toward the north. This 
morning it was first located at 10:30 a.m. Central Time and last observed at 
11:15.

For those who have missed seeing the kite, I would suggest staying in one 
location down at the end of S 5 road and let the bird come to you. This is 
what I did this morning. Just be patient and stay on task(thank you, 
Brainard), scanning the sky in every direction. I arrived at 8:30 a.m. and 
waited two hours for the kite to appear.

Also observed while waiting and scanning the sky:

Black Terns (10) flyover S 5 lake headed south,
a few Bell's Vireos, Henslow's Sparrows, Orchard Oriole (3).

**Today while birding the area at the end of S 5 road, I found a lost 
eyepiece(adjustable rubber eyecup) off of what I think would be binoculars. 
If anyone who lost one or knows someone who did, please let me know.**
