Update on last post....

Have received several inquiries about the Mississippi Kite. The information about life history and biology is accurate. Details are in the previous post along with picture of a very healthy male. Yes we are 99.9% sure someone had him in their possession for a very long time. Look at these photos- 

This guy should have been allowed to leave with his kin last Sept. His baseline weight is 316 grams. The day of these pictures he weighed 170 grams. How do you replace weigh on a raptor that feeds mainly on insects like cicadas and grasshoppers???? for contrast here look at the previous post for a pictures of a very healthy male taken in the summer.

Heard great stuff about the big band dance Saturday evening. We were tied up with a couple intensive care cases but did get to hear a bit of the band when I went over about 10 pm to pick up our display.

Thanks and appreciate all the support.
