"Wildcare" Caring For Nestling Kites

The extreme heat comes at a critical time for wildlife. Mississippi kites, a small hawk that migrate to Oklahoma to raise their families are having a very difficult time. This time of year their young are in the tops of the trees cooking in the 112 degree days. Since they hatched in early July they have not had a drink of rain so they are jumping out of the trees before they can fly. WildCare has been accepting record numbers of nestling kites in the last week. WildCare is feeding almost 200 kites right now.
