TNBird,

Thanks for all the responses about the Mississippi Kite I saw in Clarksville 
yesterday. As someone who has spent the last 9 years around New Orleans (where 
Mississippi Kites are everywhere all summer long), I really didn't give this 
enough thought. Was just such a familiar sight to me.

I also learned that Mississippi Kites hatched in Kansas have been released not 
too too far west of Clarksville (Henry Co. area) - an easy jaunt from there to 
here for a kite.

Best birding,

Stefan
