Hey Gregg, thanks for passing on your observations. I'm beginning to think there may be two juveniles and two adults in the Clayton neighborhood. I found a nest with a young bird in it being fed by an adult. Your observations sound like another young bird that has fledged and being fed by adults. Will be interesting to see more observations as folks continue to observe these birds. Here is my list with pics of juvenile on nest being fed by adult.On Sunday, September 5, 2021 at 5:52:20 PM UTC-6 greggg...@gmail.com wrote:I got photos and a recording of the juvenile Mississippi Kite being fed by an adult at 33rd and Clayton today 9/5/21. One food item was a cicada but not sure of the other bug. I noticed that the adult would not give the juvenile the bug until it flew to another tree on one occasion. The call of the juvenile sounds very much like other call recordings of Mississippi Kite on ebird but not like the juvenile call on ebird. Here is my list.GreggOn Sunday, September 5, 2021 at 3:51:09 PM UTC-6 glst...@gmail.com wrote:I saw them with a few other birders today.

After some initial confusion about IDs, those of us there (including Meg Reck, Bez B., Doug Schoch and others) believe there are two adults and one juvenile. Also around are at least 10 other species, including a pair of Downy WP, Blue Jays, Western Wood-Pewee, nuthatches, etc. , making for a nice Saturday outing to go with the Denver County rarities.Good kiting!Patrick O'DriscollDenver
