[Daniel Moss <dmoss5@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A white-tailed kite was seen on Fort Campbell Military Reservation today (4/7) 
on the Montgomery county, TN side between 2:50 and 3:35pm. I went back to the 
area with a camera from 6:15 to 7:00pm and got a few shots from far away. The 
bird has a very white crown, forehead, and breast. The tail is white, but not 
as white as the head and breast. From the crown going down the back it starts 
out a light gray and becomes darker gray. A black crescent-shaped patch was 
visible on both wings. While in flight and while hovering I could see the 
underwing linings were dark or black on the proximal half (closest to the 
body). The bird appeared to be coming back to the same group of trees after 
foraging. So if the bird hangs around I'll see if it's possible to get any 
interested parties into the area.
