Descrição:

Description: The White-tailed Kite was rendered almost extinct in California in the 1930s and 1940s by shooting and egg-collecting, but they are now common again. This one was found at Shin Kee, just north of Stockton, in the Delta. Their distribution is patchy, but they can be seen in California's Central Valley and southern coastal areas, and also around the San Francisco Bay, They are also found in southern Texas, on the Baja California peninsula, and in eastern Mexico,.
