I know it's hard to see. They are not buzzards. Look like some type of hawk maybe. Has anyone seen anything like this? All of a sudden there must have been 60 or more.
[QUOTE=Froggy;13573330]I've seen Mississippi Kites migrate like that but from the video it's hard to tell for sure.

Before I watched the video I was expecting it to be Kites because I have seen them like that before but the ones in AC's video didn't appear to have the long tail feathers.

They didn't have long tail feathers. At least not long enough to notice.
All kinds of hawks will gather together like this as they migrate. If you could get a closer zoom shot, you can tell. Might be Swainson's, probably not kites. What's fun is to be shredding a corn field when these things come through an watch them drop out of the sky like rain.
I think the last part of the video is some kind of organisms viewed under a microscope. I was thinking kites before I watched the video. I think you would have seen more lighter colored ones had it been kites. The males are a light gray/white color on their underside. Kites will make a high pitched "pee poo" sound. Not sure what it is, but I'm thinking it's not kites.
