So, I looked out my window towards the river a minute ago and saw 8 kites all darting and dancing about 15 feet over the river. They were a decent distance away, so I had some trouble getting pics, but I got 3 decent ones:







In all my years, I've never seen more than 2 adults together, so it definitely caught my attention. At first I was thinking they were kites, but the tail doesn't look "vee" enough.

I really wish I could have gotten better pics, but my camera up here only has so much zoom.

ETA - if it helps to identify them, their color markings almost remind me of a typical grey pigeon.
