Dr. Ken Meyer, Executive Director of the  Avian Research and Conservation Institute (ARCI) will discuss tracking studies and conservation issues of Swallow-tailed Kites through their annual cycle. ARCI has been studying Swallow-tailed Kites since 1988, discovering their migration routes and winter range and all aspects of needs and threats along the way. The Friends sponsored the tagging of a Kite, Suwannee, who spends part of his year on the Refuge. Ken will be able to let us know how he is doing on his migration.

After lunch, we will be able to visit the Vista property. Many thanks to Friends life members Richie and Sandra Smith, and Linda Roe Alexander for making this possible. They will open it exclusively for this event.  See more about Vista here.
