Swallow-tailed Kite hanging out in my neighborhood.....

That's pretty cool! We see Mississippi kites every year and started seeing them very recently this year. Cool birds.

Seen a few in Thib/Houma area

Do the Miss. Kites have the forked tail. Wicked looking in flight.......

My neighborhood has more Mississippi Kites than any other bird it seems. I see the coasting around all day long.

Saw a Swallow-tailed in Morgan City a couple weeks ago.

2 pair of Mississippi kites nest this time of year in my neighborhood. They have a square end tail and are super agile. I saw one dive bomb and snag a cicada on the wing. Heard the crunch as its talon grabbed the cicada.

I see Mississippi Kites pretty commonly, but never seen a swallow-tailed. That is really cool!

How did you cook it?…

Yes

Where we live near the Diversion Canal, we have been seeing them for years, numbers are constantly increasing. They are a common bird lately.
