Juvenile Cooper's hawk that took an extended bath in the water bowl just outside the kitchen door, making things easy for once. You can see the door faintly reflected in its eye. #BirdOfTheDay #Juveniles #eck

My first Black Kite

I’ve seen a few types of kite over the years (I was surprised when I looked at the “kite” category on this blog), but this is the first Black Kite in my list. The bird circled our camp site at Bendleby Ranges, South Australia, a few times before flying off into the setting sun.

Common name: Black Kite
Scientific name: Milvus migrans
Length: 50-55 cm
Date spotted: 13 September 2026 (winter)
Location: Bendleby Ranges in the Flinders Ranges, South Australia: 32°21’13.7″S 138°47’34.8″E

Nankeen Kestrel at Bendleby Ranges

With any luck, one day I’ll get a good photo of a Nankeen Kestrel! This is only the second one I’ve seen, though they’re quite common across mainland Australia. They’re lovely looking birds, and beautiful in flight too. This one was perched on a far-away bush:

A kestrel is a type of falcon, along with Hobbies and birds like Peregrine Falcons which have the word “falcon” in their name. Kestrels tend to be smaller than other falcons, and catch their prey on the ground by swooping down onto it. As far as I can tell, Nankeen Kestrels are the only type of kestrel in Australia.

Where does the name “Nankeen” come from? In Australia, we have Nankeen Herons as well as Nankeen Kestrels. Evidently the tawny colouring of these birds reminded the Australian settlers of the Chinese cotton cloth called Nankeen.

Common name: Nankeen Kestrel
Scientific name: Falco cenchroides
Length: 30-35 cm; wing span: 60-80 cm
Date spotted: 13 September 2026 (spring)
Location: Bendleby Ranges in the Flinders Ranges, South Australia: 32°21’13.7″S 138°47’34.8″E

Heh. Who needs to watch video games when there are birds of prey flying around! I watched one fly for a good ten minutes, and found myself swaying as the bird changed direction, imagining that I was one with them. It was a really cool moment. I also saw a kestrel standing in a driveway on my way home from an errand. Was it the same kestrel? Could have been...

Wedge-tailed Eagle in the Flinders Ranges

Wedge-tailed Eagles are magnificent creatures, even when you see them only high in the sky. I’ve not yet seen one up close. That day will come, I’m sure. In the meantime, here are a couple of pictures of one that soared above us as we drove along the tracks at Bendleby Ranges in South Australia.

We were tackling some tough 4WD tracks, which meant that most of us were outside the vehicles, taking videos of each attempt to clamber up a steep hill. At least two of us diverted our cameras to the bird instead! At one stage, it swooped down and flew along a valley below us:

Common name: Wedge-tailed Eagle
Scientific name: Aquila audax
Approximate length: 0.9-1.1 m; wing span 1.8-2.5 m
Date spotted: 19 July 2026 (winter)
Location: Bendleby Ranges in the Flinders Ranges, South Australia: 32°21’13.7″S 138°47’34.8″E

From a full-body portrait to a direct stare and an open bill, this juvenile Cooper’s Hawk never left its branch—but every frame felt different. 🪶

The wider frames show its long barred tail and streaked juvenile plumage, while the close portrait emphasizes its pale eyes and sharply hooked bill.

My latest Swainson's Hawks video from footage I took yesterday at the nest. Babies are getting big! This video has a few giggles and oh-my-gosh-cute moments. Enjoy!

Today I celebrate the dream that is America. One where every person is truly equal. Where the Constitution is not just followed, but respected. Where truth, ethics, compassion, and unity are the standard. Where the voices of #WeThePeople cannot be overridden by anyone.
