     I walked in from Telegraph Road on the asphalt hiker-biker trail
about 10:00 this morning, just for a stroll,  I had forgotten about
kites.  A non-birder on the trail asked me "what's the rarest bird
you've seen
today"  and I answered "so far, La. Waterthrush" (near the overgrown
clearing with pines, no water in sight, I have seen one there other
summers) and went on with the pro-bird/ing propaganda that one employs
in these encounters.  We got to the deck at the marsh end of the trail,
I gave the guy binocular looks at RW Blackbird and Great Egret, he had
to go, and what I believe were two adult Miss. Kites began to soar,
tails flared, over my side of the marsh.  There was a crowd of birders
on the observation tower on the boardwalk side of the marsh, but no one
has reported today's sighting yet, so here it is.
