In their wake, many birds of prey, most notably the largely nocturnal letter-winged kite (Elanus scriptus) also reach unusually high population densities and extend their geographic range well beyond their normal center in the Mitchell Grass Downs.    From Wordnik.com.  [Mitchell grass downs] Reference

Like Elanus notatus, it has a bright full eye, the iris inclined to a light pink.    From Wordnik.com.  [Expedition into Central Australia] Reference

I may also mention that the birds of La Plata seem to fear the kite-like Elanus less than other hawks, and I believe that its singular resemblance to the common gull of the district in its size, snowy-white plumage and manner of flight, has a deceptive effect on most species, and makes them so little suspicious of it.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Naturalist in La Plata] Reference
