Comments: Milvus migrans (Black kite). Valley of Springs Region, Israel.
Kite — As suggested by the analogy with the Arabic, the black kite (Milvus migrans) is probably meant by Hebr. dã'ah - Strongs: H1676 or dáyyah - Strongs: H1772 (Leviticus>11:14; Deuteronomy 14:13; Isaiah 34:15), interpreted kite in the D.V.; it is one of the most common of the scavenger birds of prey of the country, and for this reason, is carefully protected by the villagers. Other kinds of kites, in particular the Milvus regalis, are common in Israel.
