Nine Mississippi Kites sailed past College Creek Hawkwatch today, May 12th,
between 11:15 and 1:00. There were 3 together, then 2 were together and there
were 4 singles. Due to backlighting, I couldn't judge ages.
The only other migrants were 2 Black Vultures and 8 Turkey Vultures.
I conducted the watch from the local airport, which is about 2 kilometers
directly north across the marsh from the usual site, since the Colonial
Parkway
is closed this weekend for the Jamestown 400th Anniversary activities.

College Creek Hawkwatch is located on the James River near Williamsburg and
