Mississippi Kite (Ictinia mississippiensis)
W. Kentucky, USA - 7/8/2018
1/320 sec - f/8.0 - ISO 320
Interesting Tidbit: The Mississippi Kite is a long distance migrant. It breeds in loose semi-colonial aggregations and forage
on the wing for insects in open habitats in southern and central North America. In September, they begin to move south in
loose flocks and within a few weeks they arrive in northern Argentina and southern Paraguay, where they spend the boreal
winter foraging for insects. ~Cornell Lab-All About Birds~
