Observation details

It flew almost directly over, just above tree tops, heading south. I wasn't seeing any peach, but the light was harsh, so I tried a couple shots and just couldn't focus fast enough. Gone. Tail looked extremely long. Very quick look and I was trying to convince myself that I didn't get a good look at a STFL. But then, remarkably, it came back north, and I got a few pics, confirming as Fork-tailed.
