Talk:Elaninae

Since the family is has Falconiformes as the Order should the subfamily be consistent? JohnCastle 15:30, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Hovering rodent hunters?
The lead says they are "hovering raptors", and "all are specialist rodent hunters"; but that might only be true of Elanus. The articles for the other species list different prey: bats (bat hawk), insects (scissor-tailed kite), reptiles (pearl and swallow-tailed kites). Also, the page for pearl kite says that it swoops on prey from a high branch, with no mention of hovering.

I'll try to adjust the wording. Any suggestions on how to give a generalized description that covers all the species?
