Mississippi Kite at College Creek Hawkwatch

Fred Blystone and I watched as this adult Mississippi Kite, our first of the season, flew across the river low and right overhead! As is typical, because we are looking south, the bird was backlit, so the photo shows little detail besides the distinctive profile.
