Swallowed-tailed Kite

I looked up and it was there, soaring high over the tall trees at Corkscrew Swamp, and then it was gone. Actually, there were two of them, and I got a second quick look to snap this picture.

 

It was particularly exciting, an unexpected chance, because it was a life bird, and according to the park rangers, the first Swallow-tailed Kite observed this late winter/early Spring season.
