Kite is my best guess from that video

It is called a kettlle of hawks. They catch thermals and ride them south. Those particular birds look like kites to me as already stated. I guess kites migrate a little earlier.

Usually after a good strong cold front the raptors start migrating south. If you are lucky enough to be in the right spot you'll see a kettle of hundreds of raptors of all different types riding the thermals at the same time.

Im going with mississippi kites. We have them in our neighborhood... who ever said long tail feathers they really dont seem that long, maybe a different kind of kite does?

It's really cool to see a kettle like that.

My dad has been trying to get a permit for a long time to go trap peregrines on the beach in SPI.
