The
black-winged kite (
Elanus caeruleus), also known as the
black-shouldered kite (not to be confused with
the closely-related Australian species of the same name), is a small
diurnal bird of prey in the family
Accipitridae best known for its habit of hovering over open grasslands in the manner of the much smaller
kestrels.
The black-winged kite is a species primarily of open land and semi-deserts in sub-
