[va-bird] Mississippi Kites and Common Nighthawk in Fairfax City 5/12/07, 5/13/07

Yesterday. 5/13/07, I was driving west bound on Route 50 through the 
City of Fairfax. I was stopped at a red light near the Outback 
Steakhouse when out of the corner of my eye I saw two largeish birds 
flying. I looked up in time to gather enough information and process it 
to come to the conclusion that I just watched 2 Mississippi Kites fly 
over! Good stuff. Seems that these birds really are on the increase in 
our area.

The previous night I saw a lone Common Nighthawk flyover my house, in 
Fairfax City also.

Keep those eyes on the skies.

Also I posted a video of a Blue Grosbeak singing to my blog if you are 
interested. I find that actually watching a bird sing is the best way to 
learn their songs.
