Confirmation that 'my' Kite was, indeed a Black has to be one of my all time birding highlights. Not an 'I told you so' moment, because I didn't in that way, more a correct i/d of a bird never seen by me before, and it being on West Hartford.
Through railings, and from distance, a poor record shot:
Missing the Purple Heron was a pisser - it would have been a shitter (that's one level more on the twatometer!) if it had been a Lifer. C'est la vie!
What a crackin' end to the day - local as usual, with Crammy, and a LEO. One of my all time favourite birds, and even more special as that's 115 for the year and one more to move ahead of the last two years' annual total.
Congrats sir.
