3. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
Glede
   an Old English name for the common kite, mentioned only in Deut.
   14:13 (Heb. ra'ah), the Milvus ater or black kite. The Hebrew
   word does not occur in the parallel passage in Leviticus (11:14,
   da'ah, rendered "vulture;" in R.V., "kite"). It was an unclean
   bird. The Hebrew name is from a root meaning "to see," "to
   look," thus designating a bird with a keen sight. The bird
   intended is probably the buzzard, of which there are three
   species found in Palestine. (See VULTURE.)
