Observation details
Adult male first appeared just above treetop level at 9:07am to the WNW of the observation tower, then slowly flew in a straight line to the SSE of the tower, banking and dropping down into the canopy at 9:10am. The kite was fairly distant the whole time but seen well.... exaggeratedly broad wings; fairly long and broad tail, and thick head/bill shape. Coloration was fairly uniform slate-gray with thin barring on belly and yellow/lime-green bill. Distant photos taken. Continuing here for about 2 weeks.
