5 mississippi kites were seen today 5-22-04 at huntley meadows, all soaring
high over the open area-pond. They were seen between 8:30 and 11:00am by many
birders. 2 adults were seen at different times: 3 sub-adults/first summer birds
were also seen at different times. these may have been immatures but they
looked more like sub-adults with adult bodies and immature tails. 3 kites were
in
the air at the same time and 2 of the sub-adults were seen with each adult.
the kites were soaring and eating on the wing.
