My friend, Bob Augustine, who lives in Rockville, Md. called me last evening
to say he had seen five Mississippi kites yesterday. Bob is as good a birder
as I know, and has an uncanny ability to find Miss. Kites and their nests.
He told me he had see two adults and a nest in the Waynewood area of
southern Fairfax County. He also reported seeing three kites ( two adults
and one sub-adult) in the West Springfield area of central Fairfax County.
Anyone wishing more information may call him at 301-933-5970.
I hope to go look for the Springfield birds tomorrow.
