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

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.
