Number of species: 2
Mississippi Kite - Ictinia mississippiensis 1
Western Kingbird - Tyrannus verticalis 3
We stopped off at a city park in Guymon to rest and stretch our legs - I would end up driving from Trinidad, Colorado back to Tulsa in a straight shot (536 miles). I saw a pair of Western Kingbirds jousting with each other in the air above us. At the same time a single Mississippi Kite was gently floating overhead - no doubt in search of some insects.
