There were at least 8 Swallow-tailed Kites at Newport/ Crosby in Harris County today. I saw one carrying a bird. They catch birds out of nests and feed them to their young. http://www.flickr.com/photos/gregpage/9169188152/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/gregpage/9166999263/ I think they could be migrating or dispersing soon so see my previous post for location if you want to see them. Last year July 4th was the last day I saw them.
