The eggs of the Square- tailed Kite are of a broad oval shape. 

 Some are slightly glossy, others are entirely devoid of gloss. They 

 are creamy white, blotched and smeared with ferruginous chocolate- 

 brown. In one example the boldest markings 'are at the large 

 end, but in the others they are at the small end, where they coalesce 

 and form a cap or zone. They measure from 1-91 to 2 in length, 

 and from 1-51 to 1-64 in breadth.
