Thank you for the kind comment and the Welcome to Noah Project, Maria dB. Yes, it was very exciting the Day I spotted my very First Mississippi Kite...and then I suddenly realized I was shooting a breeding pair...I have continued to watch them over days now...since first spotted...and it is just outside my front door...
