(When we were there.)
A Mississippi Kite. Patrolling the lake and campground on the lookout for an evening snack.
They like to eat larger flying insects. They catch them in the air with their talons and often continue flying while they eat them. They’ll eat the occasional small bird, or bats, frogs, toads, lizards, and snakes if the opportunity arises. While we were there, there were a number of kites gathering for the evening. By dark, we had a tree full.
In Colorado.
Tiny little thing.
We don’t get them here in South Texas.
They’re almost everywhere else in North America, just not southernmost Texas and Arizona.

Remember back in February when I got that Leqvio shot to lower my LDL cholesterol number? I wasn’t concerned about it working, everything we’ve ever tried works to lower my LDL cholesterol. I was more concerned about side effects. I’ve never been able to tolerate any of these effective medications. Well, it has been six months now. I’ve had my second shot, my LDL is Way down, and I still feel good.
Normal people are supposed to have an LDL level of 100 or less. With my cardiovascular issues, I’m supposed to be at or below 70. That is never going to happen in nature. Before the shot I was at 168. 3 months later I was at 120. Now I’m at 81 and I still feel good. Feels like a win.
Three feeders. There may be as many as 30 altogether. Perpetual motion. Hard to tell.
