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). Then, they keep flying south overland to western Colombia. At some point in western Colombia the kites will fly over the Andes at a point where the Andes are not as high. This is not the case. Photo Credits: Tim Kelly. Project NG94-025.
