Observation details

Continuing, pretty poor doc pics. After a long vigil at the sports fields off Danforth St, saw one momentarily over the treetops south of 44 and east of Bay State Rd. A little later the whole group moved over to the side of 44 roughly here (41.8446063, -71.2575408), where the Kites were seen by all, swooping after bugs above the treetops. Be conscious that the situation on the side of the highway here is not great though, pull way over and stay out of the road We then moved around to another viewpoint here (41.8413395, -71.2537995) and got better looks from a safer spot - this could be a good spot to check but be aware that there is only a very small pull-off on the side of the road with maybe room for 2 cars, and the field there is certainly private property so viewing should be from the roadside. The pin on this checklist is the approximate location where the birds were hunting.
