I don't know if dragonhunters are common in MO but I was quite excited that this one was happy to sit and pose for several photos.

As I was getting ready to leave the nature park, I heard a high pitched sound that sounded like a bird crying out; I looked up and saw a Mississippi kite in a tree right above where I was standing. About a few minutes later, another Mississippi kite showed up, perched on the same branch, and it looked like that the second bird gave something to the first one; then it flew off. I then noticed that the remaining bird was eating something; I think it is a cicada but hard to tell for sure with the photos. After it finished its meal it resumed its calling out.

I was standing on the boardwalk watching some common green darners and turned around to see this wren standing on the boardwalk a few feet ahead of me. It crouched down and appeared to scoot along the boardwalk, then stood up, bent down as if to peck at the boardwalk, scooted down some more, then stood up and flew away to a standing log a few feet away. It stood there for about a minute, then flew to the top of a sign post, stood there for a minute, then flew off into the woods. At first it looked like it was having spasms of some kind, but it flew off just fine.
