Hi all,


  At 524pm today, I was watching a couple young
Red-shouldered Hawks taking their first early flight
and came across a falcon-like bird catching thermal.
It turns out to be a subadult Mississippi Kite and
lost it very high up after 3 minutes of observing.
Have no way of knowing if it's going N or back S. 

Full list to come up later as soon as I'm catching up
on more yard work and it's back to Ocean City
tomorrow.
