White-collared Kite

White-collared Kite

Leptodon forbesi
Tamandaré, Pernambuco, Brazil - January 7 2009
The White-collared Kite is one of the most mythical birds on the South American continent. We were very fortunated to see birds at two different sites! Leptodon forbesi is known from only seven severely fragmented sites (Birdlife 2009).
