While working at 1530 London Road today 8/8/05 , I observed an immature Mississippi kite at 2:40pm flying over the road approx 30 feet high. While watching it fight the wind and gain altitude, it joined another immature slighty further west about a block up from London Road.
Todays strong southwest winds most likely pushed these vagrants. They were last seen moving up the northshore. A check up at Hawk Ridge at 6:45 revealed no sightings, although this would be late in the day to observe raptors. Notes were taken minutes later after the sighting and will be sent into MORC.
