Black shouldered kites — also known as Australia black shouldered kites — are found in open habitat throughout much of Australia. They are smaller raptors, with a wingspan of up to 37 inches. Mostly white and grey in appearance, they have piercing red eyes set against patches of black — very cool looking birds. I saw this one on my last morning on Kangaroo Island in Southern Australia.

The kite is a stunning looking bird. We have several species here in the states but mostly in southern Florida and Texas. What a superb specimen you’ve captured here! And you captured it calling!
