[wisb] Feedback on my ID help request

I've gotten some very good backchannel feedback on my ID help request, 
especially a YouTube video from Joe Schaufenbuel showing a soaring Mississippi 
Kite.  I'm leaning very strongly toward that species as the correct ID, but 
since I have zero experience with it, I don't know that I have enough to work 
with for Rare Bird documentation (MS Kite is my #1 "nemesis" bird.)  Given that 
they nest in Rockford, IL, a bird could easily work its way up the Rock River.  

Anyway, keep your eyes open - when I lost the bird, it was headed generally 
north/northeast towards Lake Mendota.  Guess I should have checked Cherokee 
Marsh in case it decided to settle down somewhere for the evening (this was 
last Thursday - June 25.)
