I tagged along with Gail King to try for her TN Swallow-tailed Kite in Bledsoe Co, at the R & D Slaughterhouse at Highway 127 and Colledge Station south of Pikeville. Three birds flew over us as we stepped out of the car and when we drove away just 45 minutes later we had turned the Slaughterhouse Five into the Magnificent Seven!
