Between July 2 and 6 we had several sightings of a Mississippi Kite
around our 12.289 acres 3 miles east of Blessing in western Matagorda
County. Its distinctive white panels on the top side of its wings were
easily observed while flying. It was first seen perched on a dead shrub
like tree about 30 yards away that my wife would not let me cut down two
years ago. We think we have seen it a couple of more times flying
through our Live Oaks.
I am reporting it now after noting that another was a high light in
another post on Brazos Bend S.P. Also, checklists for the area state
that it is rare with only one or two sightings per season.
