Today, 10 May, there was an adult Mississippi Kite at Hyland Lake Park Reserve in Bloomington. Nancy Weber and I first saw it soaring at treetop level along Oregon South. This short dirt road branches off East Bush Lake Road near the south end of Bush Lake. The kite disappeared to the northeast and for a brief while we could not relocate it. However, after about ten minutes of searching we relocated it along Normandale Boulevard near the new St. Michaels Church. It was soaring fairly high in the sky, and after traveling a considerable distance to the east, it changed direction, came back (passing directly over us) then soared out of sight to the west / northwest.
