Masters of Flight

The Whistling Kite, an Australian native eagle, that can also be found in New Caledonia and New Guinea. Called the “whistling kite” because of the loud whistling call it makes, often while in flight. This one photographed on the edge of Lake Cooribah, Noosa Northshore, Queensland.

They feed mostly on live small mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians, crustaceans, insects and sometimes dead animals or carrion. Like most eagles, they are the masters of the sky in soaring effortlessly and diving for the kill. This shot was just before a dive, he was applying the brakes as he spotted a meal.

Canon 50D, 400mm. Available Large, and best viewed large!
