2012 Swallow-tailed Kites
All images taken in 2012 at an undisclosed nest site as well as an undisclosed roost site. I went to both sites over a 3 month span and hope that I find them again in future years. Until this year I had never seen a nest in Florida and did not know they bred here. Until the roost was discovered I never knew they swooped down to drink. I guessed that less than 1 % partook of this activity. A friend of mind hopes to be able to offer trips to the remote roost site once he has his captains license
