I noticed that a lot of the hits I've had for the last few days have come from people "googling" these birds. So I decided that, as a service to my readers, I am going to post a bunch of links to photos that people have uploaded in the last 5 days or so. (Note that these photos are much better than what I posted here!)
I imagine that there will be many more to come, as these birds look like they will be around for a while, but here is what has been posted so far:
Ben Griffith and Charlie Wright were the first to spot the birds this past week, and they did a great job getting the word out. Ben got a few photos and posted them here.
Steve Mirick posted a great map of the area showing where the birds were seen here.
My buddy Len Medlock got some shots on the 15th posted here.
Scott Young posted photos from 6/15 here.
Joe Sutherland's photos from 6/16 are here.
My friend Jason Forbes posted some of his photos from 6/17 here.
Scott Spangenberg posted 21 photos starting here.
Jon Winslow of Dover, NH posted a few shots here.
Chet Farwell, also from Dover, NH posted some photos here.
Ian Davies' photos from 6/18 are here. (this one and the next two)
I apologize to anyone who has posted photos to either Massbird or NH Birds that I might have missed. It is not an editorial call on my part, just a mistake! Shoot me an e-mail and I'll add your link to the above list.

Thanks for compiling this for those of us not on the mailing lists!
Still looking for Steve Mirick.
I saw a very large hawk last week, 2/17/2009, and it sure looked like the Kite I'd watched all summer. It was perched high in a tree just off Rte. 4 near Dover Point on the southbound lane. The size struck me first, I clearly saw the beak, and the breast looked white, but it was facing the sun...could have been grey. I saw the Kites many times over the summer, especially during nesting and was there when he first left the nest. Is there any other hawk that might be wintering over other than that nutty Kite who was born in Newmarket last year?
