I have been looking for them the past month. Hopefully the ones near me show up soon.

Haven't seen any yet, but I counted 5 eagles between Pierre Part and Morgan City on LA 70 last week.

Had my fist piece of tail swallow this weekend too.
Sorry, wrong board.

I saw 3 this weekend in shreveport one evening before dark. They really are a beautiful bird.

Both the MS Kite and Swallow tail kites are by far some of my favorite birds to see in our area. I have yet to see one this year....

Do you report your sightings to thecenterforbirdsofprey.org? They're logging sightings to determine the Swallow Tailed Kite's range.
I don't know squat about these birds or that organization. I googled to see pics and their website was towards the top of the page. Beautiful birds. Hope I see some around the Tchefuncte.

I had in the past, last year I did it once then email the lady at LDWF.

Here was last year's thread... I have seen at least 9 Swallow-tail Kites this year.

The only time I've ever seen one was on a golf course near Boute.

Cool. Just curious.
I've got Ospreys out the arse, and the occasional Bald Eagle around my place, but I've never seen (or noticed, although I think I would) a Swallow Tail Kite. They're fairly rare, I assume?

Interesting thread. Thanks for the link. I'm going to have to keep my eyes peeled for these guys.

I've seen them every year for as long as I can remember, but I never see many. Probably about 10 or so sightings each year. Mostly around Morgan City or Pierre Part.

None yet this year. Only one last year.

there is also a lady with the state that collects data. Her info should be in the other thread.

Ours have not arrived yet. The area where my office is happens to be a favorite of a few.

A couple of years ago I saw about 15-20 feeding right next to Hollywood Casino. Looked like a bunch of overgrown sparrows until you got close.

I actually saw a swallow tailed kite yesterday over Bayou Savage while driving home from work.
