Swallow-tailed Kite

A beautiful Swallow-tailed Kite has been hunting for prey in my front yard for the past 2 days, flying as low as 20 feet from the ground Presumably it’s here for the summer breeding season. I’ve seen it soaring high above for a few weeks, but never have I witnessed this bird of prey so close. Beautiful.
