I am unhappily reporting that the Swallow-tailed Kites were not present at the R & D Slaughterhouse area in Blount County. I arrived by 9:30am today (8/18/12) and drove around the area for about half an hour. I only found 3 Red-tails and 1 Broad-winged hawk along with the usual suspects of N. Mockingbirds, Bluebirds and E. Kingbirds. Perhaps the S-T Kites have moved on. If some one finds them later next week, please report your date and time. I will be back in this area next weekend and would love to see and if lucky, photograph them. This one would be a lifer for me. Bird On! Georges McNeil Memphis, TN
