One over the basin while driving and one near the house. I have seen one by the house in the spring for 3 or 4 years now. They must be making a little bit of a comeback. If you see one please report the sighting...

It's time to start seeing them. The girl that tracks them is very appreciative of reported sightings. I think I reported 12 last year.

They are one of my favorite birds. I've gotten my dad fairly interested/excited about them, and he has reported them to the girl at LDWF.

I've seen quite a few this year already. Got some decent video of 2 in Homosassa just a few weeks ago. I've seen groups as large as 3-4 just North of my home.

Very cool bird. I've seen a few in the Basin and often when I drive north of Mobile on the interstate at the 3 long bridges. There are a bunch around St. Augustine where my sister lives and in the fall on the Georgia coast dozens gather to eat emerging locusts. When I see one I usually put the sighting on eBird which is an excellent resource for anyone interested in where bird species can be found.

Pretty sure Ive seen these in Slidell but haven't seen it in a while. Say it daily for about 2 months in the fall

Oh wow, I am pretty sure I have seen one of these in a tree by my house for the past three days (in the Harveston subdivision at Bluebonnet/Burbank). In fact, I took a picture of it yesterday thinking it was an eagle, but then if flew down from its tree and I realized that it had a lot more white on its body than an eagle. I'll have to check it out tomorrow and try to get a closer picture.

They nest behind my house every year.
I have only seen 2 pair so far but about 6 years ago there where 18 birds.
They are amazing to watch especially when they get together in spiral.

Saw one this year flying above the cemetery behind Seale Funeral Home on Range Ave. in Denham Springs.

I've seen them every year for the past 15 years in Pierre Part and Morgan City. If you are a bird watching enthusiast, head that way one weekend. You'll be sure to see them.

First one in two years just outside of Marksville.

I spent a lot of time in the Atchafalaya Basin during the summers between 84 and 90. I used to see these daily, and more than one. They seemed pretty common at that time.

25-30 glide around me casa every day

I had seen 2 of them together in west fork but forgot about reporting them.
