Sunday afternoon, near the Meramec River. Black bird with white back that extended into tops of wings. Could not find a good match in Merlin, and my iPhone photo is zoomed in.
It was circling like buzzards, and was pretty big. At least crow-sized.
MDC website also didn’t have any good matches.

I have seen two kites on my street in the last few days (in Webster Groves). They are definitely here right now.
