From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 [gcide]:

  Glede \Glede\ (gl[=e]d), n. [AS. glida, akin to Icel. gle[eth]a,
     Sw. glada. Cf. {Glide}, v. i.] (Zool.)
     The common European kite ({Milvus ictinus}). This name is

     [1913 Webster]

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  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}.)
