Black-shouldered Kite
Elanus axillaris
ABR description
The following is extracted from the Annual Bird Report for the twelve months to June 2017.
Uncommon, breeding resident
Numbers fluctuate according to the availability of suitable food, such as mice, small mammals and grasshoppers.
General: A relatively poor year for this species, with only 105 records. The reporting rate of 0.7% pales in comparison with the 30YA of 3.4%, though fluctuating numbers are common for this species, with the reporting rate having varied from 0.4% to 8.5% over the last 30 years. The most recent good year for these kites was 2011-12. Numbers ranged from 1-3, with an average of 1.3, median 1. They were only recorded in 30 weeks and their seasonal distribution was unusual, with a winter peak of 45% of records, followed by spring with 39%, despite winter and spring only accounting for 46% of the annual datasheets. The hotspot for the species was again the ever-popular JWNR, with grid L14 accounting for 54% of the records. There was one possible breeding event: di/11 Sep FSP (SmA1). There have been breeding records in 13 of the previous 30 years.
GBS: Only 4 records, well down on the 30YA of 36.3. The reporting rate was similarly down, 0.2% against the 30YA of 1.3%. All were single birds, in Giralang and Crace, with 2 summer and 2 autumn records.
Abundance
Abundance is the average number of birds of that species per survey. Where the species was observed (presence recorded) but the number of birds seen was not recorded, this is treated as a count of zero.

Distribution map
Distribution - 2017
This map shows the observed distribution of the Black-shouldered Kite for 2017.
The red circles are the grid cells where Black-shouldered Kite have been reported.
The transparency of the red circles indicate how many surveys sheets were submitted for that grid cell; the darker the red the more reliable the data. Of the 315 grid cells with reports, 83 had only one sheet; an example is grid number A11.
The size of the circle represents the reporting rate. The maximum reporting rate for Black-shouldered Kite was 50.0% (eg grid number H4) and the minimum was 0.2% (eg grid number K14). 
Distribution - all years
This map shows the observed distribution of the Black-shouldered Kite for all years.
The red circles are the grid cells where Black-shouldered Kite have been reported.
The transparency of the red circles indicate how many surveys sheets were submitted for that grid cell; the darker the red the more reliable the data. Of the 703 grid cells with reports, 55 had only one sheet; an example is grid number Z4.
The size of the circle represents the reporting rate. The maximum reporting rate for Black-shouldered Kite was 100.0% (eg grid number Z4) and the minimum was 0.1% (eg grid number K15).
