  40. Mississippi Kite

    Details

    Second-year bird. Kite with banded tail, pale gray head, chest, and belly, dark primaries with no rufous (eliminating PLKI), short outer primary. Some retained juvenile underwing coverts and tail, otherwise mostly in adult plumage.

    Kate and I (DB) did the 11:50 net run to the front as I was going to retrieve my scope and do some last-minute obs before closing time. I was only a few steps ahead of her and focused more on the ocean, when I heard Kate say "uhhhh, Dave?! Raptor? Pale?! What is this?!". As soon as she said my name I turned around and looked where she was looking, to see a medium-sized raptor with narrow, pointed wings circling above the front ponds. As I got my bins up it was turning away from us, and I thought "huh that Peregrine looks a bit weird". As it turned back toward us it clicked first that it was a Kite, and then as it fully swung around it was clear that it was a MIKI! I yelled on the radio for everyone to come up to the front, and luckily the bird stuck around circling for a few minutes, allowing everyone to get good views and photos. After a few minutes it made a beeline out toward Bentinck, and seeing the coast over that way, it turned around and zoomed back inland toward Pedder Bay. We alerted the team there but unfortunately it must have passed by too far for them to see.

    First record for BC, a new Canada bird for me, and coincidentally my 500th species photographed in Canada!! What a day.
