Walkin' on the Wild Side
Quite a Sight, that Swallowtailed Kite
Show Notes

When Gabrielle and I moved to Chester, SC, we thought the days of seeing the majestic swallowtailed kite soaring in the sky were over, but lo and behold, we have seen them here regularly!  Join us on the porch as we talk about the amazingly acrobatic, striking, and spectacular swallowtailed kite.  Learn about their habits, what they eat, and just the overall mastery of flight these strikingly black and white colored raptors have!

Here's some websites for further info:
