Observation details

Crazy!!! A few minutes after an osprey passed over, I looked up to see a Swallow-tailed Kite. Took a few pics with my cell phone. Bird was circling and heading north towards Forest Lawn Cemetery/Delaware Park. Almost dismissed it as a gull since that's what I'd expect to see flying over the city. Gull-sized white bird with black wings and long forked tail. Stunning of course and very exciting!
