Kite in the Blue
I spotted this Mississippi kite (Ictinia mississippiensis) circling overhead, and I’m pretty sure it spotted me right back. They’re relatively small raptors, built for high, effortless soaring, and this one seemed unusually interested in my backyard. Mississippi kites don’t typically go after other birds, but with all the anoles skittering around the house, it may have been scouting for a quick snack.

Searching for Death
This turkey vulture (Cathartes aura) rose out of the forest this morning (4 May 2024), beginning its slow ascent into the sky to start its relentless search for food. It passed to my east, giving me just enough time to raise my camera and capture a few shots. This image shows the vulture’s face more clearly than any other in‑flight photo I’ve taken.

Weathered Witness
I’ve got a batch of overexposed Mississippi Kite images—Ictinia mississippiensis, if we’re being formal. I decided to see what I could salvage from one, aiming for a rustic feel. I think I’ve landed there. Birds of prey make it easy; they carry drama even when the lighting doesn’t.

Seeking wisdom from anyone familiar with bird banding and experience with reporting a bird band number… more specifically, I would like to know if it’s possible to report a partial number?
The backstory: I've been observing a family of Swainson’s hawks in our neighbourhood for the last 9 years. A new male replaced the patriarch in 2023. He is banded.
Despite my best photographing efforts, I have only confirmed the last 5 digits of the number, plus one other digit for sure (but unsure of its position). He will surely be leaving soon on his epic migration to Argentina.
I would love to know his story. Am I out of luck?

Mississippi Kite on Alert
During our Friday walk, I spotted this Mississippi Kite (Ictinia mississippiensis)—the closest encounter I’ve ever had with one. I kind of wish I’d had my other camera with me. My first instinct told me it was a Mississippi Kite, but when I tried to verify the ID using apps and such, things got a bit finicky. I think the uncertainty came from the angle and the way the coloration appears here. The tail looks unusually long, but I believe that’s actually a portion of the left wing extending behind it. The brownish tint seems to be more a trick of the light than true plumage. Fortunately, I managed to get another image from a different angle, which helped confirm the identification.

Stillness on a Lichen Limb
Charlie and I were out and about again this morning when I snapped a photo of another Mississippi Kite (Ictinia mississippiensis). Like the others I've shared over the past few days, I didn’t realize what I’d photographed until I got home and reviewed the images.

Am Wochenende habe ich Inka kennengelernt, den #Schopfkarakara der Greifvogelauffangstation Mittelfranken 🪶 Eine ganz schön selbstbewusste Persönlichkeit, kann ich euch sagen! Sie hat auch sehr souverän posiert. 😎
Danke an Andreas und sein Team für die spontane Möglichkeit zu diesem Foto "mit Klinge"! 🙏🏼

Steel Feather, Still Sky
Charlie and I just got back from our Monday morning walk. Along the way, I spotted a bird off in the distance and snapped a photo—not knowing at the time what kind of bird it was. I’ve included the original image to show how far away it was. For reference, I was using a 560mm lens, which offers about 11× magnification.
Using digital tools, I cropped and zoomed in to get a clearer view. The second image gives a much better look at the bird itself—a Mississippi Kite (Ictinia mississippiensis), a striking and elegant bird of prey.

Airborne Artistry
This Mississippi Kite (Ictinia mississippiensis) was too far away to get any detail, but the bird was flying directly towards me, so I took the shot. Even without detail, I like the way it looks. This image is black and white.
"The Mississippi Kite makes a streamlined silhouette as it careens through the sky on the hunt for small prey, or dive-bombs intruders that come too close to its nest tree. These sleek, pearly gray raptors often hunt together and nest colonially in stands of trees, from windbreaks on southern prairies to old-growth bottomlands in the Southeast (and even on city parks and golf courses). After rearing their chicks they fly all the way to central South America for the winter." - allaboutbirds.org

Flying kites.
There we were, hunkered down at my patio table in the backyard watching the sky. When two mystery birds appeared high up riding the thermals. They were Mississippi Kites (Ictinia mississippiensis). This is a new bird for me, I'd not heard of it until today.
