Today at around 4 pm while we many were looking for the Mottled Duck unsuccessfully, a Mississippi Kite buzzed the shorebird and waterfowl habitat at Hillman Marsh, and headed off to the south after a single pass. It did not afford great views but this could be a useful heads-up to those in the area.
Hillman Marsh shorebird habitat is just south of the parking lot, which can be accessed from Mersea Rd. 2 just E. of Regional Rd. 37 (Hillman Rd.)
