Coastal white-tailed kite spotted near Sea Island
subdivision An adult white-tailed kite was spotted at Cora
Brown Subdivision on Sea Island on Sunday, 18 April. The
white-tailed kite is normally found near the Californian coast, in
southern New Mexico and around the Gulf of Mexico. The adult kite
is light gray and white with black patches on its shoulders and
feeds exclusively on small rodents. The call of the white-tailed
kite is a repeated "chip chip chip", and a "kree-eek" when
frightened. The Inlet Trail Nature Walk is a place where bird
watchers can walk for a couple of kilometers around the eastern end
of Burrard Inlet. If you have a bird sighting to report, you can
call The Vancouver Bird Alert at (604) 737-3074. APRIL 19, 2000
