White-tailed Kite
Occurred the most disproportionately in the most westerly hexagons that had some freshwater habitat. Somewhat less likely in eastern hexagons with more than 32 mm of June precipitation (hex. med.). The logistic regression analysis showed positive or negative association with mixed deciduous forest (Siskiyou Mtns.), elevation (hex. avg.), number of land cover types, and-to a lesser degree-coastal dunes and ponds, coastal salt marsh and estuary, and the extent of public land.
