Backyard Visitor

I have a pair of nesting Mississippi Kites in my backyard at the very top of a maple tree. I watched them switch positions this morning - they take turns sitting on the nest.

They must feel comfortable at your place, Elaine. Nice clear shot.

Terrific capture. It will be so very nice for you to be able to follow the progress of that nest.
