Protocol: Incidental
Comments: Kim & I on our way to Stump Pass beach on 776, I spotted some raptors soaring west off the road. Weather: cloudy, warm.
2 species
Black Vulture 2
Swallow-tailed Kite 1 soaring alongside black vultures back towards Englewood. From the road it initially looked almost like a gull, but I spotted its fork tail & knew immediately what it was. We pulled over at the intersection & I looked through binoculars to see the tail & pale undersides contrasting with grey forward underparts: unmistakable. It sailed off east into the distance. Life-tick.
