On March 17, 1912, 1 observed a pair of White-tailed Kites (Elanus leucurus) at "Ravenswood," a place about three miles northwest of Palo Alto. These birds circled around several times and did not seem at all wild. They uttered their peculiar cry continuously. About two weeks later I noticed a kite about a mile from this spot. The bird was on a post in the middle of a marsh and was very shy. On April 2, 1913, I noticed a White-tailed Kite about twenty miles north of Santa Barbara. This bird was fairly tame.
