Not a great pic but a great story! I came home Monday to find two pairs of these rare birds hovering in my front yard! I took a quick video of all 4 with my phone then ran inside to grab my camera. When I came back 2 of the birds had vanished, i shot a few frames but light was terrible. Doesn't look like any of them turned out good:cry: I see a handful of ST kites per year, every once in a while a pair, but I have never seen 4 at once! Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cool birds! Nice shot!
 
Those are neat birds, the only time I get to see them is when I go to S. Ga. Are the scissor tail and the swallow tail the same thing?
