Kites are a members of a family of raptors (birds of prey) and hunt in open grassland areas for small rodents. This species of raptor with white and gray coloration is sometimes mistaken for gulls from a distance; but similar to other kites, it has an identifyable hovering behavior before diving down to snatch its prey. The White-tailed Kite was rendered almost extinct in California in the 1930s and 1940s.
