Gotta love the video of your kettles, and the better Swainson photos.

We heard our first redstart today!

[@nathanielz1053]

It has been a really great spring for hawks at Braddock Bay!

[@LycoBirds]

Yes, we have already had more raptors this season than we had all of last spring, plus some nice rarities!

Mississippi kites are the most aggressive animal on the planet probably, super aerobatic, they do the cleanest barrel rolls, in a stoop, for fun. They swoop _every single thing_ that comes too close to their nest and they do all that, only to abandon their kids and migrate early, smh. I think I have a baby girl white tail, she's massive. I saw the mom and her sitting on a branch together and was like "wait a tick".
