Never before in Manitoba...this pair of Mississippi Kites have found their way into Winnipeg and have nested, as folks in Winnipeg may have read in the Free Press this past week http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/local/watching-kites-fly-a-joy-for-bird-lovers-269329231.html

The pair has attracted every birder and photographer in the city as well as many cross border birders...me included as this was a definite "1st".

From what I understand nesting pairs have been found in Nebraska and Iowa and appear to be making their way North...who would have thought this far North ?
