(Posted by Daniel Orr <[email protected]> via moumn.org) I believe my brother and I just observed a Mississippi Kite in Swift County on CR29 at the point where 55th St NE turns and becomes 70th Ave NE. The bird was Harrier shaped with long wings and tail. Back side was an even dark coloration with no visible white on the upper surface. The bird was observed at about 200 yards hawking insects as it flew. The bird was much more acrobatic than a Harrier climbing , rolling and diving while hawking. Bird was somewhat backlit and We did not get a good view of the underside. We will try to relocate.
