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

They nest in my backyard every year.

Negative.

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.
