Info on the White-tailed Kite

I spied this magnificent pair in a group of trees overlooking a saltwater marsh about a half mile from where I live...I had no idea as to their identity but was able to make a positive ID based on the following...Red eyes and a large dark spot on the underside of both wings as seen in Workshop
