On Tuesday afternoon, (6 April, 2010) John van Dort, the official
counter at the Sandy Hook (New Jersey) hawk-watch observed &
photographed a Swallow-tailed Kite, which was seen flying north in the
direction of Coney Island at about 1:25 p.m. (The kite could have
moved on to New England on Tuesday's winds and warmth yet it also
could be on or over Long Island or elsewhere in NY today).... so -
keep an "eye to the sky". For those who don't immediately recognize
"Coney Island" that's as in Brooklyn, New York, as in western Long
Island, NY.

should get one to a report if looked at during the day today (Wed.),
after that try http://www.hawkcount.org/month_summary.php (and select
Sandy Hook Migration Watch, see April 6)
