Brahminy Kite
BRAHMINY KITE
Haliastur indus
Accipitridae Family
Length 510mm (20 inches); Wingspan 1220mm (48 inches)
Resident, Common
Bird #29 - October 2008
We were already very familiar with this bird when we saw it during our birding trip to Caylabne, but here it is at #28 because those sightings as a non-birder don't count? This raptor is usually found near the water and beaches. Its coloring is very distinctive: white and rufous.
