Swallow-tail kite
Recently, the J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge biology staff assisted the Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation, city of Sanibel and Avian Research and Conservation Institute in Gainesville with swallow-tailed kite surveys at the refuge’s latest acquisition — the 68-acre Lee Anne Tauck Conservation Tract. Senior Refuge Biologist Jeremy Conrad reported, “We did not find any nests, but did observe three kites in the area.”
