March 2, 2020

Location: Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park, Okeechobee

I am known as a White-tailed Kite
I'm a small hawk with grey and black pointed wings.
I have red eyes, and when I fly,
I stop to hover to catch small things*.

*Those "things" being mammals, but not much rhymes with mammals and its pointy wings are one of this birds identifying features.  Make sure you click the link below, my photo does not do this bird justice.
