We lost the juvenile Mississippi Kite. Found him dead in the morning after a day of fresh air and sunshine. Central Georgia since nest sites have been confirmed as far north as Fayette County. If you should see some M Kites and take a few minutes to watch I don't believe you will be disappointed.
This is a mature adult M Kite released by Laurens Wildlife in Dublin, Ga. He didn't come to us since he was an "in and out". This picture is courtesy of Vonda Morton at Laurens Wildlife. Notice the drastic change in plumage from the juvenile to the adult. The eyes are a red color in the adults.
If you are interested in working with a wildlife rehabilitator or learning to be a wildlife rehabilitator contact a licensed rehabber and talk to them. There is a list on the Ga. DNR website. If they are not listed on that website but insist that they are a licensed rehabber ask to see their permits. All Rehabbers will have a permit or permits with Ga. Dept. of Natural Resources or US Fish and Wildlife Services letterheads and/or stamps on the permit. Protect yourself from people who are going holding around seminars and stating their seminar/class is a prerequisite to obtaining a rehab permit. These people are charging money for these classes and are not licensed rehabilitators. Call Ga. Special Permits office if you have any questions and before you plunk down your money. This information is a free service to you from a licensed( federal and state) wildlife rehabilitator.
