I was on recess duty 15 minutes ago (12:10pm) at Chichester Central School. I saw a bird of prey flying with a split tail and it appeared to be a kite heading north. I ran to my car and I was able to get one picture. I love to hear what others think.

That is a Swallow-tailed Kite!! Incredibly rare in NH, amazing find!

FYI, it appears this kite has been in the area since at least Saturday. There is a report in eBird from that date (https://ebird.org/checklist/S245085120), and just today NH Audubon got a video from the same date in the same general area (along Route 4 near Bixby Pond). With Chris's observation thrown into the mix,the bird is clearly still around and birders in Epsom and Chichester should keep their eyes open!
