     I spent about three hours at Huntley Meadows yesterday morning - saw a 
     Mississippi Kite around 10:20am pass the antenna in a northerly 
     direction.  No luck with the Swallow-tailed Kite.  At the visitor's 
     center they said it had not be relocated since Saturday (June 19.)
     
     Other birds:
     
     Bald Eagle - 1 adult, 1 immature
     Red-shouldered Hawk eating a young Red-winged Blackbird (I think it 
     was since the hawk was being harassed by a couple Red-winged 
     Blackbirds as it ate.)
     King Rail - heard 3
     Red-headed Woodpecker
     Green Herons 10+ 
     Yellow-billed Cuckoo

Hi all --
     
I spoke to a friend yesterday evening, and he had seen the Mississippi Kite 
at Huntley Meadows Park yesterday (that is, June 24) at around 11:30 am.
     
So it is still around, although the Swallow-tailed has apparently left for 
pastures new...
