How do you know the Mississippi Kite was lost - did it ask for directions? Of
course, if it was a male it would never ask, but you probably could hear it
cursing its GPS unit. :-)

Oh you people and your raptors,
Geeez. Well John Maresh, Tira Overstreet and I had a very rare one in Port
O'Connor this morning so hold on to something solid...With our own eyes we saw
a very lost Mississippi Kite! Sure did.!...Maybe my first here in several
years, maybe since Ebird began..... "Oh go on", you say!
..................Also a Merlin that has taken up residence. Now that's
hawk-watching!
Not many migrants this morning due in part to the very windy conditions in
part but a few of the regular things. Except for one Couch's all the yellow
kingbirds were silent in a steady mist so we did not get the Tropical to speak
though had a bird at the location that may well have been it.
The wind here is distinctly from the north not SW, very gusty, and is
carrying a heavy mist/foggy ...71F at 11:00A
19 Sandwich terns on an newly formed beach after almost 8" of very heavy
rains yesterday.
