species of harrier hawk, circus melanoleucus, kite [JV]

mouse-hawk [RY]

(sman) Black kite (Milvus migrans)
'ol ba and ne le, used by different authors, are basically synonymous and denote the Black Kite, thought to be the most abundant species of day-active raptors worldwide.
David Holler (tibetbirds.com) applies 'ol ba to the Black Kite, and ne'u le to the Upland Buzzard (Buteo hemilasius). It is the largest of all Himalayan buzzards, breeding in the mountains from Nepal and Bhutan to Mongolia and Siberia.
