Bien observado, kite pequeño blanco y negro volaba junto a un Carancho molestandose mutuamente, la observación fue breve, de apenas unos segundos pero la silueta es inconfundible apreciandose la cola ahorquillada.
Esta especie migra hacia el sur en verano y si bien llegan hasta Misiones algunos ejemplares siguen hacia el sur incluso hasta Buenos Aires
Lamentablemente no pudimos tomar fotos.
