A good view of a Swallow-tailed Kite was seen west of Willmar, Sat 11:00 AM on
Hiway 40 about 1/3 mile E of junction of Chippewa Co 2. The bird was flying NE
over the road and was viewed for a short time, 3 seconds, from a moving car.
The view was unmistakable, white body, not grey, white forewing, not grey,
trailing half of wing black all the way to the tip. The bird may be a young
bird since the tail feathers though spread wide, did not appear as wide as the
one seen in southern Minn a few years ago. There was no place to pull off but
Dave Sovereign viewed the bird from the back window for a short time. He
commented that it fluttered a bit, but did not appear to be hunting.
The Snowy Plover was seen at 6:15 PM at the same location on the rocky spit
that was reported earlier. A small chick was seen scurrying up the bank and
stopped between rocks. As I watched an adult appeared and they stood together
for 15 seconds before moving off behind rocks. Light was fair but good field
marks were seen against the rocks.
