[va-bird] PW Kites

The kites were around today in numbers ranging from 1 to 4 but after about 1200 
they seemed to have disappeared except for an appearance now and then.
I'm fairly certain it has something to do with the overcast day we are having.

Guessing it is either the lack of flying dragonflies/cicadas or thermals that 
makes them hunker down somewhere.  Where, I don't know.

So if you are still planning on coming to see them I recommend a sunnier 
occasion.  As always when hunting down birds, nothing is guaranteed.  We've had 
about 30-40 guests so far and all have been extremely polite and patient with 
the non-birding residents.  Your consideration is much appreciated.

As a point of interest, my court is about the highest point within a couple 
mile radius and maybe that has something to do with them picking this spot to 
congregate.  I'm sure the river nearby and a local wetlands doesn't hurt either.
