Saturday while driving on Highway 7 in northern Hickman County near the Lick
Creek Bridge I saw a bird that I first thought was a Mississippi Kite. Right
size, slender pointed wings mostly dark grey back but as it flew over was
able to see mostly white under wings and belly. Leading edge of wings were
black with  black tips. Tail was fan shaped with dark center portion and
white feathers either side. I did not have binocs and was in traffic so
couldn't watch it long. Any one with ideas as to what it was.?
