Swallow-tailed Kite!!

Halloween Pennant
Swallow-tailed Kite at Anne Kolb Nature Center April 22, 2009

It was a good day for warblers - Black throated blue, Parula, Cape May,Blackpoll all in one Ficus tree eating the figs; joined by two raccoons late in the day.
The highlight of the day was a Swallow-tailed Kite!!
I was at the end shelter on the Lake Observation Trail. It was the first for me at this park. For the day I saw 42 species. I ended up with nearly 400 photos mostly warblers.
There were over 100 Halloween Pennants around the grass on the west side of the parking lot, a really cool sight to see all these skimmers(dragonfly) together.
