As many of you might know, I have been concentrating my bird efforts primarily to just one county, Pima Country which surrounds the Tucson, Arizona area. There is believed to be a very small breeding population of Mississippi Kites that occupy a small area that borders Pima and Cochise Counties.

The Great Horned Owls that live in the palm trees right above our RV have returned and brought with them a pair of fledglings. They are located in the Santa Cruz Flats just north of Tucson, and are quite honestly, living right alongside the road. That was no deterrent from landing right in the middle of the road.

In the right season, with a little luck, we often find it, and sometimes it perches high and long enough that we can admire its scimitar of a bill, its stern face pattern, and even the patch of rusty red on the undertail that gives the species its English and its scientific names. Wicked, right? Jochen Mar 8th, 2011 at 6:53 pm Haaaaa!
