Mississippi Kite - Camp Verde
This morning I finally saw a Mississippi Kite in Ft. Lincoln Subdivision south of Camp Verde. This is my first sighting of them in Camp Verde this year. The bird was very consistent in landing only in weeping willow trees. We have a fair number of Apache Cicadas down here this year, and I suspect that is what it was munching on in the trees.

RE: Mississippi Kite - Camp Verde
The Mississippi Kite in Ft. Lincoln subdivision in Camp Verde continues. It was perched for 45+ minutes at the top of the large weeping willow off the NW (dead end) portion of Armetta Drive this morning, Friday, Sept 23.
