Swallow-tailed Kites Prepare to Migrate

7/16/2019

Thanks to Friends former president Maria Sgambati for forwarding this YouTube of swallow-tailed kites. And thanks to Raymond Powers for taking and posting the video!

The birds were gathering on a farm near the Refuge in Gilchrist County in preparation for their migration. Friends is supporting the tracking of one swallow-tailed kite on its migration this year. Maybe ours is in this group! See the video here.
