We first found the Swallow-tailed Kite in a dead tree on the far side of the pond. I only managed to get one digiscoped shot before it took off.
Scope at about 50X and the camera zoom in all the way

Mississippi Kite mobbing the Swallow-tailed
  
most of the Mississippi Kite were young birds with clearly barred tails.
  
some where quite "blotchy" underneath
  
and at least one seemed to be molting fairly heavily
