Howdy!
Jill Froning just called me (3:45 pm) on her cell phone from South
Carolina describing an AWESOME sighting of 25-30 kites!! She's seeing
them on I-95, 3 miles south of I-26 and 1 mile north of Exit 82, flying
on the west side of I-95. As we continued talking, she said some were
flying above her at tree top level. She estimates an equal amount of
Swallow-tailed and MS Kites, with a couple buteos, also. She can also
see more in a distant field hunting, but it was hard to estimate the
numbers.
Good luck to anyone close enough to check it out!! Happy birding!
