Letter-winged Kite

(Elanus scriptus)

Sightings

Letter-winged Kites are not quite as common in the Narrabri region as Black-shouldered Kites, but have been seen by us a number of times nevertheless. Unfortunately, only one distant photo up to now, which does not even make the identification unique. The adult birds accompanying the juvenile could be identified by eye without doubt.
