HE kite generally breeds in large forefts, or 
wooded mountanous countries: its neft is 
made externally with fticks, lined with feveral odd 
materials, fuch as rags, bits of flannel, rope, and 
paper. It lays two, or at moft three eges: which, 
like thofe of other birds of prey, are much round- 
ed, and blunt at the fmaller end; they are white, 
{potted with a dirty yellow. Its motion in the air 
diftinguifhes it from all other birds ; being fo fmooth 
_and even, as to be fcarce perceptible ; fometimes it 
will remain quite motionlefs for a confiderable 
{fpace; at others glides through the fky, without 
the leaft apparent action of its wings: from thence 
is derived the old name of Glead, or Glede, from
