Black-shouldered kite        Images © Mark A. Chappell

The black-shouldered kite of Australia is one of a group of very closely-related raptors found on all of the continents except Antarctica; the North American representative is the white-tailed kite.   This bird was photographed on the Atherton Tableland in far-north Queensland.
