Friday July 14th
One of our most favorite birds are the Swallow-tailed Kites. Often seen soaring tree top high as they search for their next meal. A beautiful delicate looking white and black raptor that arrives in Florida around the end of February.
That is when small numbers emigrate from Central and South American population to nest in the American Southeast. By July, after nesting, we see these birds gathering in roosts and in impressive kettles, before their return to the wintering grounds in Brazil. Most will be gone by the end of July.
