This is a photo of a Plumbeous Kite that we saw perched near the pavillion/dock area along the Poço Preto (Black Well) Road in Iguaçu Falls National Park during the afternoon of September 30, 2011. Temperatures on this humid day were over 100 degrees. The Plumbeous has long, pointed wings, slate-grey coloration as adults with a paler head and underparts. In flight, this kite shows a rufous primary patch which is a good characteristic to use in identification.
