The Swallow-tailed Kites in Florida Are Now Heading South…

10,000 Birds

In about a week after the last count, no kite will be seen at or near the roost (Meyer 2004). Of all migratory birds breeding in North America, Swallow-tailed Kites are among the first to leave for the wintering grounds. Then, they keep flying south overland to western Colombia. This is not the case. Photo Credits: Tim Kelly.
