We apparently have a pair of Mississippi Kites nesting somewhere in the neighborhood. Hopefully, I'll get some shots of them flying around here.

Thanks, Morris. The flight shots, if any, will be pure luck. I'm not spending much time outside right now since we're sitting at 100 everyday for a while. Praying for some rain and a little bit cooler temps.

I'm not going out much either as we are in the 90s with very high humidity and wildfire smoke.

Thanks, John. These are pretty unique for us also. I saw one once about 5 years ago up in a tall tree. These two seem to be nesting somewhere very near.
