David and Texbirders,
My daughter lives on Kingsmill in the Friendswood area. Mary's Creek runs
behind her house, about 3 years ago a pair of Mississippi Kites nested in a
tall pine tree across Marys Creek from her yard. They fledged two young.
My grandchildren swim on the Friendswood Area Swim Team. During swim meets
at the Stevens Park pool, I always watch for M. Kites. Last year was the
first year I did not see any during June and July.
This year I have seen a few in the area. I'll keep watching, maybe they
will nest again. I think I reported it on Texbirds.

Hi Texbirders,
For the past 2 weeks, I have had a pair of Mississippi Kites flying
over my house, often at treetop level. I have seen them at least
every other day.
It seems that they must be nesting in the area as I have only seen
them in fall migration before and only perhaps 1/2 dozen times in 17 years.
Are there any previous reports of this species nesting in the Clear
Lake or Galveston County areas? I have only heard of nests north of I10?
