Dan and Barbara Williams and I assaulted the intersection of Parkwood and Lundvall (just south of Bloom School) this morning, radios in hand, to cast a dragnet for nesting activity. Previous observations, especially last night, gave reason to believe a nest might be near here. After more than two hours of work, success! A juvenile was discovered that is capable of flying short distances. There is some reason to believe it may have a sibling, but there is as yet no confirmation of that.

Since our suspicion about nesting here was correct, I’ll go out on a limb (no pun intended) and say that we suspect there is yet another nest somewhere south of Guilford.

Very surprising is a report from two knowledgeable observers who live south of Guilford on Parkwood. Monday evening, in advance of a weather front, they watched a flock of 9 kites circling together over their house.

I have updated the map here to reflect these observations. Note that you can zoom in and out, and read details either on the key at left, or by clicking on the markers.
