Media notes
Terrible photo of a bird hovering. The dark part on the inner wings hints at the black shoulders of White-tailed Kite.
Observation details
2 birds seen from 300 meters or more away. Their hovering immediately brought to mind White-tailed Kite, which I've seen many times in Chile and in the US. I was able to see the white tail and underside, the gray back and upper wings, and the black shoulders. They were quite far away, so I can't add any more specific details about their appearance. They were visible flying around and hovering over the marsh for about 10 minutes. Since I don't see any reports of this species in this area I'll try to go back and get some decent photos.
