On a related note, I saw a pair of swallow tail kites around the house last week. I tried to get photos, but they were cruising, close and then at a distance in a blink of the eye...
There is at least one pair that nests in the back of my neighborhood.

They send you a cool email at the end of the year with all the documented sightings in the U.S.

After all those I reported in '11, I saw zero in '12. I must not have been on the road as much.

That's pretty cool. I haven't seen them in a while, so I'd have no idea on dates, but now I know for the next time they show up.

I saw them once last year. I saw about 10,000 buzzards while looking for them though.

I've seen them every year for the past 5 in Pierre Part and Morgan City. Not as uncommon as they once were.

How much white? If it's mostly the underparts that are white, it may be a northern harrier, aka "marsh hawk". You'll see them flying low to the ground and slow over fields looking for rodents.
Although, I'd think most of them might have migrated north by now. I was seeing them 3 weeks ago in N. AL, however.

Saw one not long ago, but yeah, they may be gone by now.

Saw something like that this year over a cutover. Especially noticed how low and slow it was flying.
