The Whistling Kite (Haliastur sphenurus) is a medium-sized diurnal raptor found throughout Australia (including coastal islands), New Caledonia and much of New Guinea (excluding the central mountains and the northwest). Also called the Whistling Eagle or Whistling Hawk, it is named for its loud whistling call, which it often gives in flight.

Another bird drawing I quickly sketched up to use in a tutorial. I thought i'd post it here. You can find it on Tumblr, too: http://thenutkasecreates.tumblr.com.....of-a-whistling
