I keep seeing 3 of these flying around my neighborhood. I have never seen them before and of course I never have my camera or phone outside with me when I see them so I googled it to find out what they are.
Here is what I found..."The lilting Swallow-tailed Kite has been called “the coolest bird on the planet.” With its deeply forked tail and bold black-and-white plumage, it is unmistakable in the summer skies above swamps of the Southeast. Flying with barely a wingbeat and maneuvering with twists of its incredible tail, it chases dragonflies or plucks frogs, lizards, snakes, and nestling birds from tree branches. After rearing its young in a treetop nest, the kite migrates to wintering grounds in South America."
They are majestic to watch in flight.
