This male Mississippi Kite was found in Portales, New Mexico, and
was taken to
Wildlife Center
in fall of 1999 for rehabilitation. He has a broken wing from an
unknown cause. Because he was found alongside a road, we believe that he
was hit by a car. Once he was determined to be non-releasable in fall
2000, he was transferred to Hawks Aloft for glove training. He suffers from
recurrent nasal infections, but with the help of our veterinarians, this
problem is manageable. This species is unusual in captivity, and introduces students to a type of raptor
that few people know about. He is very calm and occasionally vocalizes during presentations.
