Square-tailed Kite in western Sydney

["Evan Beaver" <>]

Agreed, that's the Squarest-Tailed kite I've ever seen. I reckon when
you see a big raptor, look at the tail first, Wedgies are easy to ID
this way. The Squares are obvious too, and don't seem to change much
with fanning in and out. Also the SqT white face signifies an adult
and is also diagnostic in raptors that size; spread primaries and
white 'circles' under the wings also help.
