I watched the videos and that is the call I'm hearing often this summer, sometimes back and forth between more than one bird; I wouldn't be surprised if maybe a pair is nested in one of the giant old cottonwoods around here, maybe behind my house. Thanks again.otowihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11497228997910501944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637029.post-37691169818382592672011-08-07T17:27:15.523-06:002011-08-07T17:27:15.523-06:00If there are two, they may have nested. The young...If there are two, they may have nested. The young are quite vocal and loud so if you get anywhere near where the nest is located you will likely hear them. You might want to watch the video clips of fledgling Mississippi Kites that I took last year that are posted on my blog.

There are at least two of them here - I've seen and heard both - maybe there are more.otowihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11497228997910501944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637029.post-55572852630858325312011-08-07T14:44:38.291-06:002011-08-07T14:44:38.291-06:00Otowi-I found your message on my Birds and Nature ...Otowi-I found your message on my Birds and Nature blog just now but I am having problems with the software that handles the comments so I lost it. Now I see that you messaged me back in May about the same bird--sorry, the software didn't notify me or I would have told you then. Your beautiful bird is, indeed, a Mississippi Kite and they have that unique call you are hearing. You took some nice photos. I am surprised to hear that one has been in the Security area all summer. Though they have been appearing in more northern parts of the state in recent years, they are generally found in towns along the Arkansas River from Pueblo east to Lamar.SRMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14363439970457747681noreply@blogger.com
