Black-winged Kite
Elanus caeruleus
Kruger National Park, Table Mountain National Park and Garden Route National Park are among eleven atlas places where the Black-winged Kite is recorded. Its records concentrate in South Africa, Taiwan, India, Israel and the Palestinian Territories. The atlas holds about 273,000 records of this bird from 22 countries, and the map follows where they concentrate.
Because it is recorded in both hemispheres, seasons differ by region and each place page shows the months recorded there.

These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Black-winged Kite as much as where it lives. The atlas keeps a species' 200 best-recorded grid cells, so the map shows where records concentrate rather than its whole range. Cells are up to 25 km across, and every location is generalised to its cell.
Generalised encounter areas, not exact locations. Each shape is a grid cell coloured by how likely the species is there.
