Just spotted the loveliest bird and after much research, it appears to be a Mississippi Kite. Although, it doesn't sound like this bird would be around these parts this time of the year. Also, it was snatching voles out of the snow and I read that these birds eat insects. The bird was about 12", with a white head, slate blue body and black tail feathers,somewhat long. It looked like it had a black mask on its eyes, though the photos I have looked at since the sighting do not show any eye mask. I have lived here 13 years and have never seen this bird. Any ideas?
