Word was related by Gus Keri that a somewhat mysterious woman on a bike saw a Swallow-tailed Kite over Prospect Park. She evidently had a picture and he also thought it was indeed a Swallow-tail. Twitter went mad and all eyes were skyward but with no luck relocating the fast moving bird.
Gus had told her to post it through the Brooklyn BIrd Club page which thankfully she did. Many thanks to Jennifer Keplar for her great find and her follow through with the picture. Here's a link to her blog. http://snapshotofnature.blogspot.com/2014/04/awesome-sightings.html Stay tuned to see if this is some kind of record for Brooklyn. Thanks Jennifer!
