This morning, the Mississippi Kite chick at Welsh Park was standing on a branch right next to the nest. For most of the time, the chick stayed in one spot out in the open. A couple of times, an adult came to feed the chick. This chick seems to be about a week ahead of the chick in a kite nest I monitored at Monticello Park in Alexandria in 2017. Below are photos of the chick standing next to the nest and one when the chick had just received a food delivery from an adult. 


Best,
