Black-shouldered kite        Images © Mark A. Chappell

Black-shouldered kites have a very wide distribution that includes Africa, Asia, and Australia; a close relative (the white-tailed kite) lives in the Western Hemisphere. They depend heavily on rodents wherever they live; this one was sitting in the top of a Euphorbia tree in Nairobi National Park, Kenya.
