2013 Swallow-Tailed Kite sightings data

The Swallow-Tailed kite continues to use South Carolina's coastal plain extensively during their spring migration and nesting. Florida remains the favorite for swallow-tailed kites but as the climate has become more mild over recent decades, these raptors have sought to spread out their range. For instance, 2013 was the FIRST year that they were observed in the state of Maine! To view the exciting information in the 2013 sightings data report click here.
