The square-tailed kite (Lophoictinia isura) is a bird of prey in the family Accipitridae which also includes many other diurnal raptors such as kites, eagles and harriers.

Conservation status

In 1996 square-tailed kites were listed as vulnerable, but since 2004 the status became least concern.[2][3] However, their conservation status may vary from state to state within Australia.
