Hi all,

I just spoke with the manager of the Brass Ring golf course, home of our
now famous Mississippi Kites. Apparently no one has seen the birds for
over a week, and I would say they are long gone. The guys that work on
the course daily know these birds well and have been good sources of
information, and their lack of recent sightings would certainly seem to
indicate the kites have headed south.

It will be interesting to see whether they return to Ohio next May and
nest again.

Subject: [Ohio-birds] Miss Kite still there?

Hi,
I would like to head to the Hocking County golfcourse to see the Kites, 
but it's a long drive from Chardon; could anyone confirm whether the
Kites 
are still in residence, or have moved on?
Thanks,
Marilyn Rohr
