I spent about three hours at Huntley Meadows yesterday morning - saw a Mississippi Kite around 10:20am pass the antenna in a northerly direction. No luck with the Swallow-tailed Kite. At the visitor's center they said it had not be relocated since Saturday (June 19.) Other birds: Bald Eagle - 1 adult, 1 immature Red-shouldered Hawk eating a young Red-winged Blackbird (I think it was since the hawk was being harassed by a couple Red-winged Blackbirds as it ate.) King Rail - heard 3 Red-headed Woodpecker Green Herons 10+ Yellow-billed Cuckoo Lou Shomette Columbia, MD ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: [MDOsprey] Mississippi Kite at Huntley Author: <mdosprey@ARI.Net> at intergate Date: 6/25/99 9:05 AM Hi all -- I spoke to a friend yesterday evening, and he had seen the Mississippi Kite at Huntley Meadows Park yesterday (that is, June 24) at around 11:30 am. So it is still around, although the Swallow-tailed has apparently left for pastures new... Gail Mackiernan
