Distribution and Habitat
The usual habitat of the Letter-winged Kite is semi-arid open, shrubby or grassy country, across the arid interior of the continent, such as the Channel Country and Gulf Country of Western Queensland and into the Northern Territory. Its range may spread south with rodent plagues. The species has been recorded in the vicinity of Broken Hill in far western New South Wales, and a dead bird recorded in a street in Inverell in the north of the state in 1965 and another spotted there a year later, as well as Lake Eyre in northern South Australia.

Famous quotes containing the words distribution and/or habitat:
“In this distribution of functions, the scholar is the delegated intellect. In the right state, he is, Man Thinking. In the degenerate state, when the victim of society, he tends to become a mere thinker, or, still worse, the parrot of other men’s thinking.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Nature is the mother and the habitat of man, even if sometimes a stepmother and an unfriendly home.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
