Observation details

Flying over our house in the Fairfax, VA, neighborhood of Greenbriar!! IDed by ABA as swallow-tailed kite, unusual for northern VA. Additional info: I can add that I didn't hear any call, but it was soaring very high. It was flying roughly due north, but it circled once, disappeared behind the trees, and when I saw it again it was back on course, headed north from Greenbriar, Fairfax, VA. It was flying fairly fast -- my view of it was only maybe a minute, tops, from over the trees to the south, to disappearing in the north.
