    I was so taken by Arnt's pic I forgot to ask the bird people. Last night a flock of swallow tail kites were circling over the pond near my house - had to about 80 or so. They were way to far away to get a decent pic, but I didn't think swallow tails "flocked"

    Any one know if they do/don't was this a rare occurrence or just I something my sheltered life kept me from seeing before?
    If you see me with a wrench, call 911

    They tend to congregate in large groups like that around this time of year. There are apparently roosting sites that you can go find hundreds of them, I have yet to locate one though. It is on my to do list though because they are awesome birds.
