Below is the post in question. Since the report was from a trip during mid/late August, I assumed that he/she meant to say Swallow-tailed, rather than White-tailed Kite.
"Hi everyone, I'm Chris Ruiz-Gardner, I live in Las Vegas and go to school at
Loyola University- New Orleans. I took a trip with my family to Florida and
stayed in Weston from August 17th to the 23rd. I know I'm writing a few
weeks late, but school just started and I've been busy with that. It took me
awhile to compile all my lists and put up pictures on the internet so all of
you could see. I traveled to the Everglades- Shark Valley, Flamingo and
Anhinga Trail, around Miami, and down to the Keys. We were going to go to Dry
Tortugas but the waves were too high because of Hurricane Dean, so hopefully I
can come back sometime. The pictures are located on my webshots account under
Florida birds, _http://community.webshots.com/user/LHShrikeBoy_
(http://community.webshots.com/user/LHShrikeBoy) . All the pictures should have
the place
and date where I saw the bird in the description below each picture. I
couldn't get a picture of every bird I saw, so I'll write a quick list of some
birds I saw.
Everglades- (Anhinga Trail/Gumbo Limbo Trail)- Anhinga, Black-whiskered
Vireo, Black-and-white Warbler, Northern Parula
