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!
