Stephen > This Mississippi Kite perched at the top of a juniper tree and then quickly flew away when it found some juicy dragonflies or cicadas on which to feast. Midlothian, Texas, August 2008
Stephen > It was noon. The light was harsh and directly above, but I did not want to pass on the opportunity to document five mississippi kites perched in a tree. These kites are basically yard birds for this neighborhood near me. The fifth kite by the way is in the upper left hand corner obscured by branches and leaves. Midlothian, Texas, July 2008
Stephen > I have noticed that the mississippi kites like to perch in this certain tree which is relatively low to the ground instead of perching high in their huge nesting trees or on the utility lines. So knowing that, I always try to pass by this tree when able. It was cloudy and had been raining, but here this mississippi kite was; consequetly I took the shot standing in this person's yard on an electrical box to try to get more parrallel with the kite. It's a so-so image, but I sort of like that head position. Midlothian, Texas, July 2008
Stephen > This Mississippi Kite allowed me to get very close. It had just been feeding on some insects that it had just picked up off the ground and had eaten in the air. It then returned to this perch apparently quite content. Midlothian, Texas, May 2008
Stephen > This is simply a front view of a Mississippi Kite sunbathing on a warm Sunday morning in May 2008, Midlothian, Texas.
Stephen > I found this mississippi kite in an area where I usually do not find them. This looks like a first year adult and I am hoping it is going to establish itself in this area along with a mate if it hasn't already done so. I have seen kites flying over this area but I have never seen one perched here. Midlothian, Texas, May 2008.
Stephen > Got an itch; have to scratch. Midlothian, Texas, May 2008
