Mississippi Kites
The Mississippi Kite is one of America's most elegant raptors. These dove-gray birds spend the summer hunting over plains and woodlands in the southern United States. They often nest colonially — unusual for hawks — with a half-dozen pairs in sight of one another in a grove of tall trees. By nesting in groups, they can work together to mob an approaching predator.
This show is dedicated to the memory of Rusty Rose, a great friend to birds everywhere, including a group of Mississippi Kites he followed, watched, and protected on his ranch in Texas.
