Hello Ontbirders, My brother and I just had the Mississippi Kite circling over the north side of Hillman Marsh CA (looked like it was over Mersea Rd 2 which runs across the north end of the conservation area), we had good views of its long, thin grey body and wings with darker primary feathers. This is not a full adult as it wasn't showing white secondaries, but did show all grey body and head (2nd year bird I believe).
Hillman shorebird cell has 2 Willet, 1 American Avocet and at least 1 White-rumped Sandpiper, we also had a Peregrine Falcon earlier (4:30pm). Good birding, Frank & Rob Pinilla Directions: Hillman Marsh is found at the intersection of Mersea Rd 2 & 19, NE of Point Pelee NP.
