Debra and Ronnie Stephens are enjoying a family of Mississippi Kites, including a baby Mississippi Kite, who have made their home on the Stephens’ property on Liberty Road in Natchez. The Mississippi Kite is a raptor that hunts for small prey. After rearing their chicks, Mississippi Kites, which inhabit the Southeast U.S., fly all the way to central South America for the winter.
