I've looked at the photo and just wonder if anyone has considered Mississippi Kite for this bird.

This morning at 10:55 Gus Keri briefly saw and photographed what appeared to be a raptor with a long, forked-tail over Canarsie Beach Park in Brooklyn. View and photo were heavily backlit, into the sun, so coloration could not be perceived:


Swallow-tailed Kite is one possibility and the photo may suggest some other ones. The bird was flying east toward Jamaica Bay.
