I first heard about it Friday, at the office of Hartman Reserve. Ed, the head man told me about a lady that had seen 2 white tailed kite by New Hartford and gave me her name and number, Mary and Greg Love. I was reluctant because I didn't know this lady and I did not call her. I called her today after I had seen it today. Mary and her husband saw 2 birds smaller than a harrier that flew over their road. She described it as slender built and white tail, dark primaries and dark upper wing coverts. The black shoulder was clearly seen. I had her described it and it was exactly the same I had seen at Leopold. THey were seen about 4pm and flying like harriers, flying over grass land. THey headed West toward Wapsi Valley school and then turned North going towards Hwy 3. I have seen these birds a number of times in Texas. It was flying so low I had no trouble getting details. I don't think I can get on list serve so that's why I'm writing to you. Tom Stone Waterloo, Ia.
