[EBB Sightings] Mississippi Kite?

The "possible" sighting has been along the fire path in Crystyl Ranch
(parallel to Rolling Woods Way, and the cross street is Crystyl Ranch),
hunting most every evening around 5:00 p.m. for a few weeks.  I have been
viewing at least 2 of them, but not sure if they are actually Mississippi
Kite's.  I know that we have many White Kite's (or black shouldered) out
here, but the markings are much more distinctive than the juvenile kite
which I know is more rusted, and these have a tail marked like a cooper's
hawk.  According to Sibley's, they have been sighted here.  Due to the
unusual weather, I am guessing they are back.

 

Our neighbor also has nesting Northern Blue Birds, and I have had Oriole's
(Bullock's) at their feeder already.

 

Happy viewing!
