Gaining altitude. Roost must have been fairly close to the house
Observation details
Overall gray birds with distinctive profile that I have seen dozens of times over the years. Two waves of birds that I could see. Got photo with 21 birds in the second wave, probably 40% or so of the total of the two waves. There was an earlier wave of Kites that I could see reflected in my glass dining room table, so in total there were more than the 50 I saw. Birds flying over the house from the west and starting to gain some altitude as they flew directly towards were the rising sun would be. Roost must have been just west of the house, possibly close to the nearby Guadalupe River
