Greetings, I was at the Brass Ring Golf Course in Hocking County from about 11:30 A.M. to 1:00 P.M. today(Thursday, June 28). I was at the location on Keller Road from which the bird has usually been seen. About noon a Mississippi kite flew out from the golf course and over Keller Road as it began to soar upward in circles. At times it was directly overhead. Then, as it flew higher it was over the area between Keller Road and Route 33 and then over Route 33. One time it dropped downward head first then began soaring higher again. At times it was harassed by a small bird. Then it began to fly lower and back toward the golf course, finally being out of sight behind some trees. I saw it for at least ten minutes and got good looks at all the field marks. After that I went to the snack bar at the golf headquarters building. There you can cool off and get something to eat and drink. The people there are very friendly and are getting used to birders dropping in.
