      1. Thanks, I've set the country (see on the right). It's important to set both the species (if you know it) and the country. The process is explained here:

        I hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions.

The Swallow-tailed Kite is an elanid kite which breeds from the southeastern United States to eastern Peru and northern Argentina. Most North and Central American breeders winter in South America where the species is resident year round. It was formerly named "Falco forficatus".
