Beautiful series! I'd love you to add this spotting (and any others that apply) to the mission Raptors of North America (I know you've got some spottings in the mission!): http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8627...
Correct :) Used to be called the Black-shouldered Kite, which you can see very well in your second photo.
