The attached is self-explanatory. Unfortunately, one seldom carries a camera to a dental 
appointment. 

The location was Hwy 332, about 2 km E of Rose Bay or about 10 km W of Lunenburg. As 
expected, Anne did not find the Kite in the same place later in the day. In my experience, 
Kites move along pretty quickly, so where it will reappear - if anywhere - is anyone's guess.

This morning around 10:45 asI was driving NE along the highway past Bayport Plant Farm, 
Lunenburg County, I looked up and saw a magnificent Swallow-tailed Kite gliding toward me 
heading SW at a level where it was riding the updraft close to shore. The bird was black in 
outline, very thin with a wide wingspan with wings showing a gentle camber. The tail feathers 
seemed to be together behind but my view of it was head on. As I was driving on my way to 
an appointment in ChesterI didn't have the timeto turn around and followit to see where it 
went. Likely if I had been able to do so the bird would soon have been gone. It was on the 
move.
