Bernard,
a somewhat picky reponse but there are not just one "species" of each of
these types in Australia. (If you are intending your book to be world
wide, I am sure the topic gets even more messy)
Eagle - 3 (including the Sea Eagle)
Buzzard - 0 (except the Black Breated Kite is known as a Black Breasted
Buzzard in some parts of Australia)
Hawk - 5 (including goshawks and sparrowhawks) or 12 if you include
those ospreys, falcons, harriers and kestrels which are sometimes
colloquially known as different types of hawks
Kite - 7
Pelican - 1
Ibis - 3
Swift - 2 (and 3 species of swiftlets)
Perhaps here or similar sites;
http://birdlife.org.au/all-about-birds/australias-birds/find-a-bird
might be a good place to hunt down people who are more likely to have
bird pictures.
I would also recommend a copy of "Field Guide to the Birds of Australia"
by Graham Pizzey to give some good general info on bird habits,
distribution etc.
Regards
SWK

Good morning all
I'm currently working on a publication with the title: "Soaring Birds
- friends or foes".
It would be nice to include pictures and I'm wondering whether members
of this list
can contribute nice shots of the following species _in flight:_
a) Eagle
b) Buzzard
c) Hawk
d) Kite
e) Pelican
f) Ibis
g) Swift
If anyone can send me copyright-free shots I would gladly include them
and, of course,
properly credit the photographer.
Many thanks in advance!
Bernard Eckey
