I went to see the Swallow-tailed Kite at the Wallkill NWR Headquarters
today and was not disappointed. I arrived before 9 and the bird was
easily seen perched across the field/valley from the bench on the
North Loop trail. If you continue past this bench and down the hill
you can get a better vantage of the whole valley that the bird seems
to spend much of its time in. The kite started to fly around as the
temps climbed and flew directly over us at one point. Awesome bird!
