Have to wonder if there is any connection between these birds and the three that were found during the May 18 BioBlitz at Belmead in Powhatan. At the time it appeared that they put down there when they ran into a thunderstorm across the river in Goochland.

I contacted the home owner, Amy, and was able to observe 7 birds this evening just after 6 pm. She is open to birders coming to look for the birds. Please get in touch with me if you are interested in trying to see the Mississippi Kites. Arun Bose Richmond
