I just did some research and there are five kinds of Kite in North America, but they are all in the southern United States and Mexico.
They are starting to extend their territory further north so one day I might see a Kite. I know the Green Heron has extended its territory north of Lake Ontario so I have seen them.
The kites look like beautiful birds. I would love to see them.
You are right, the raptors are hard to tell apart. So often you only see them flying over head. We have a lot of Red Tailed Hawks and even some Peregrine Falcons right here in the city. They nest on the roof tops of high-rise buildings and they are protected so they are quite successful.
