Does anyone know if Mississippi Kites still occur along the Meherrin River
in southern Virginia, at the NC border? Our British visitor is still looking
for that species, despite a couple of trips to Huntley Meadows (where sightings
seem to have dropped off in the past week).

We have managed to locate a number of his target species, with special thanks
to many internet birders who provided detailed directions to some difficult
species. Right now we are still hoping for a local Wormeating W. (we know they
are around!). Now that the cold front has come through we should see some
early migrants, too...
