Hi all,

I was able to visit Hide-A-Way Hills in Hocking County briefly yesterday morning, and observe the Mississippi Kites and their nest. The juvenile - there is only one this year - is doing well and was being fed regularly by the hard-working adults. I managed some photos, and you can see those on my blog: http://jimmccormac.blogspot.com/

It appears that we are on target for Saturday, August 13 for the "Kite Day". A big thanks to Elizabeth vanBalen Delphia and Melissa Krygier for monitoring these birds, providing regular updates, and working with Hide-A-Way Hills management to provide access to birders on last year's Kite Day, and hopefully this year's as well.

More updates will follow.

Jim
