Black Kite

Yellow and Black

Viewed 4 Times

One of the most commonly seen raptors in South Africa was the Black Kite.  Note the yellow bill on it (it is commonly known as a Yellow-billed Black Kite).  One of the prominent features of the Black Kite is that to holds its tail perpendicular to its body (like the vertical tail of an airplane) and uses it as a rudder to steer it left and right.
