Hi all! 
Just curious if anyone had tried since the 26th to locate the Swallow-tailed Kite at the Annette Nature Center near Indianola? 
I see an out of state birder reported one at the Runnells overlook today.

I’ve been out there at Annett a couple of times since the last sighting with no additional sightings. I just got home from a quick trip to Runnells because that report intrigued me. Bill Rice reported a Swallow-tailed Kite from the overlook on Aug 20th so perhaps there have been two around. I spent about an hour scanning with no luck, but there is a lot of habitat and miles of river so who knows.
