Greetings all,
I apologize for the late email, but those of us staking out Mud Lake near Port
Colborne from 8 AM until 8:30 this evening did NOT see the reported Mississippi
Kite that was first found on May 19th and was viewed daily, I believe, up until
today, where it did NOT appear.
Thanks to the birders that came from various distances, including New York
State for their dedicated effort.
Good Birding -
Rex Bartlett
