Observation details
At about 6;30 PM we started seeing a number of Mississippi Kites. several came down into the thickets on Frontera to roost right near us. Some got disturbed and re-roosted with in the park. More and more stated coming in. By 7 PM we saw at least 200 kites in a massive kettle flying very low. clearly they were all looking for a roosting site. It was an amazing spectacle.
