[<birder1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

McKenzie area (Carroll Co.)
5/5/03

On the way home from a very eventful night of work in Jackson, I had a flyby 
Mississippi Kite in the Obion River bottom near McKenzie. This bird is likely a 
product of the severe series of storms that blew through the area overnight, 
although I've had a few in the spring and early summer in Carroll, Henry, and 
Weakley counties over the last few years that weren't weather related. This 
graceful raptor always brings a smile to my face, especially away from its 
normal haunts near the Mississippi River.

Good birding!!!!!!
