Although the locations of the two documented observations are about 15 miles apart, indications are this was probably the same individual at both locations. The written descriptions from two independent observers are both somewhat incomplete, but each observer provided good sketches of this kite, a species which would be difficult to confuse with any other bird. | Accepted | |
