There was a third-hand report of a Mississippi Kite hunting the fields near the Fenske Visitor’s Center on Pleasant Plains Road in the Great Swamp at approximately 2:00 this afternoon. Three birders searched between 4-5:00 without relocating it.

Addendum: Jim Mulvey wrote that he talked with a couple at the bridge (North Gate) on Pleasant Plains Road who said that they had seen the Mississippi Kite toward the Fenske Center around noon and that it was flying around with 2 Redtails and a Vulture. Jim wasn’t fortunate to see it himself. The couple may have been the original people who reported the sighting.
