Ok,, I've heard of a 'flock' of seagulls, and a' covey' of quail, and a 'gaggle ' of geese,,
I think I have even heard of a 'murder' of crow's or something..
But a 'kettle ' of kites?
Some how ,,it sounds right..

John, kettle is commonly used to describe flocks of soaring
birds that use thermals to migrate. It's not species-specific
like "gaggle of geese."

Riley,
Great sighting of those kites. There have been reports of them near our house in Virginia. I have been on the look out for them. Take care. Geno

We have decals on our front door but this little Common Yellow Throat hit it anyway. Thankfully he recovered and flew off.

Got no photos to add from out here. Now's the season you see big V's of geese flying south.
And watch out for turkeys in the woods.
