Here you could see the male about to mount on the female…more black winged kites soon :-). The black-winged kite (Elanus caeruleus) is a small diurnal bird of prey in the family Accipitridae best known for its habit of hovering over open grasslands in the manner of the much smaller kestrels. This kite is distinctive, with long-wings, white, grey and black plumage and owl like forward-facing eyes with ruby red irises.These are classified as least concern by IUCN.
