Mississippi kite
The Mississippi kite is not a common sight in Marion County. It spends winters far down in South America and breeds in the Texas Panhandle and the Deep South. This lucky find was photographed during one of the regular Audubon bird walks at the Ocala Wetland Recharge Park. For more information on local guided bird walks, visit marionaudubon.org.
