Letter-winged Kite (12/15)

ACCIPITRIFORMES: Accipitridae

Elanus scriptus  

I ended up with heat exhaustion after staggering through a grassy floodplain at Parry Lagoons, Western Australia, for three hours flushing button-quails.

I thought I must be halluncinating when I looked up and saw this bird! A very uncommon site in northern Western Australia.
