Swallow-tailed kites along Cape Fear River



Two Swallow-tailed kites were seen soaring high over the river mid-day today, 
about 3 miles downriver from the NC 11 bridge crossing (34 22 47 N and 78 14 
10 W), north of Riegelwood, NC.  Another bird (or perhaps one of the two 
referenced above) was seen flying just below lock & dam #1 at tree-top height.  It 
could have been easily seen from the boat landing or picnic area.
