FYI: Possible Mississippi Kites @ Glenmere Park/Weld

[The "Nunn Guy"]

Hi all

Just received an email from Dan E. at Greeley Tribune who received kite(s) report from Michael K at Univ of No Colorado:

"Hi Gary, Michael K, a bird watcher, reported some Mississippi Kites in the Glenmere Park area. He believes they are nesting there now. Is that unusual? Thought you might be interested."

I'll probably go by tomorrow morning to check out.  I am also contacting Mike and Dan for more details.

Thanks Gary Lefko, Nunn

Heard from Dan E (Greeley Tribune) regarding kite(s), one seen last few days at Glenmere Park.  Still waiting to hear from Mike K who reported it to Dan E.

Thanks Gary Lefko, Nunn

I stopped at Glenmere today at around 3:15 PM in search of the kites and just as I was getting ready to leave I found a pair circling overhead at quite a height.  I got a few very poor photos which you can see at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/aphelionart/  I do not know if they are nesting in the actual park, or in one of the neighborhoods.  It looks like as many as 5 were seen at this location in 2012 (perhaps parents and offspring).

Here is a recent photo (taken by Wade) of a Mississippi Kite in Greeley-this one spotted near 13th Street and 27th Avenue.
