The Kite Run

10,000 Birds

Swallow-tailed Kite is an enigmatic species in North Carolina. Outside of this corner of the state the birds can range widely, showing up in random fields in all corners of North Carolina. There was a pair of Mississippi Kites hanging around as well. I have Mississippi Kites in my own hometown.

Mississippi Kites at the Sterling Forest Visitor Center

10,000 Birds

The last time I saw a Mississippi Kite was way up in Root, New York, back in 2009. There was a pair that were believed to be breeding and the following year successful breeding was confirmed, the first record of the species breeding in New York State. Nate also had s ome good shots of Mississippi Kites in North Carolina recently.
