[TN-Bird] Mississippi Kite - age and sexing

Aug. 18, 2008
 
Sunday, I sat in a whirling mass of Mississippi Kites; they were swooping  
down to my level and feeding on a horde of dragonflies. At one time, I came up  
with a loose count of over 60 birds feeding around my truck, such a joy and  
wonderfully rewarding experience.
 
When I'm in the field, a lot of depth and enjoyment is added to my  
experience by not just marking down a species but adding, juvenile, subadult,  
basic, 
alternate, transitional, migrating, adult etc. etc. to the name. I've put  
together a quick and dirty web page with a few good to poor ventral photos  
showing juvenile, subadult and adult plumaged Mississippi Kites, a  true Wind 
Master. Corrections welcomed.......Try:
