Why it matters
The Letter-winged Kite is a unique raptor prized for its distinct underwing markings that form a dark, "m"-shaped pattern when the bird is in flight. As the world’s only strictly nocturnal bird of prey, it remains a rare and elusive sight for observers, making it a significant find for those documenting avian diversity.
