They're prepping to migrate back north for nesting. I don't welcome them back because they'll eat Monarch butterflies in their courting rituals where males feed them to the desired females.

Charlie and I were sitting outside this morning. I was drinking coffee, watching for birds, and taking care of some business on my phone. Suddenly, dozens of Mississippi Kites (ctinia mississippiensis) appeared in the sky, riding the thermals, circling, slowly moving south or east. They were pretty high, and a few passed over, I was able to get a couple of recognizable photos so that I identified the birds.
I don't post all of the photos that I post here to my Pixels gallery, but I post the photos I like best. Some don't make the cut. I most likely will not post this one to the gallery. I usually wait a couple of days to see how I feel about it then.
