Migration in progress

Had an exciting day of birding right here at our ponds in Alpine! I saw a myiarchus flycatcher I couldn't ID, so submitted it to ebird as myiarchus species and asked the reviewer for help. He told me it was a Great Crested Flycatcher, which was a new species for me.



Then I saw a bird high in the sky and decided to take a photo of it, hoping just for something IDable. Steven (the ebird reviewer for this area) said it was a juvenile Mississippi Kite, which was new for my county list. And migration has barely begun!
