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).[2] Also called the Whistling Eagle or Whistling Hawk,[3] it is named for its loud whistling call, which it often gives in flight.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).[2] Also called the Whistling Eagle or Whistling Hawk,[3] it is named for its loud whistling call, which it often gives in flight.
