We've seen Mississippi Kites near our yard on Friday, Saturday and Sunday
(6-26 through 6-28). Friday was a brief fly-over by one bird, but on
Saturday and Sunday two adults sat for extended periods in a prominent dead
tree. This same tree has been used occasionally as a perch/preening spot by
MIKIs in the past couple of years. It is also where we saw a Merlin several
weeks ago. Love that dead tree!
