About the Swallow-tailed Kite:

The swallow-tailed kite (Elanoides forficatus) is a magnificent raptor known for its deeply forked tail and extraordinary aerial agility. Found across the southeastern United States and into Central and South America, these birds spend much of their lives on the wing — hunting, eating, and even drinking in flight. Their striking black-and-white plumage and effortless soaring make them one of the most recognizable and admired birds in North American skies.
