The Mississippi Kite breeds in southern U.S. states and winters
in Mexico and South America (e.g., Argentina and Paraguay).
Both sexes are similar but the female is slightly larger.

Mississippi Kites nest in colonies and both parents incubate the
eggs and care for the young.
They primarily eat insects but will also eat amphibians, reptiles, small
rodents and bats.
