Young Black-shouldered Kites

[Martin Butterfield via Canberrabirds <>]

According to HANZAB the average clutch size is 3-4 birds so your lot would be at least two clutches.

On September 30 2011 Carwoola was visited by a flock of 14 Black-shouldered Kites.  The extent of the black was examined very closely but it didn't spell anything.  I think they were all adult birds.

This morning on the entrance road to Uriarra east reserve I spotted some Juvenile Black-shouldered Kites. A closer look showed six young birds but after about ten minutes two more joined them giving a count of eight young birds in the same tree. I assume they would not all be from the same nest?
