Zone-tailed Hawks breed in the southwestern United States and northern Mexico, but they winter from Mexico to Brazil. They even tend to fly among Turkey Vultures , soaring with their wings held in the same slightly-V-shaped position. Then they drop out of the flock, and pounce.

Take that same stroll in southern Brazil or other places and extinction is acres of burned rainforest, a walk through plastic decorated neighborhoods devoid of insects, massive forest fires, die-offs of animals, and millions of shellfish being cooked alive , in situ. Two are pelagic species, two are resident, and the other one is a mystery.

Of all migratory birds breeding in North America, Swallow-tailed Kites are among the first to leave for the wintering grounds. Once on the east side of the Andes, they will continue south to southern Brazil arriving in the Pantanal area where they mingle with the resident population of Swallow-tailed Kites there.
