Episode 255: Swallow-tailed kites

Anyone inspired by our previous episode with painter Christopher Still to go out and see some art can do so at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Jacksonville where a fantastic show reassembling the first Modern art exhibition ever presented in Florida can be seen through November 23, 2025.

Our guest is Ken Meyer, executive director at the Avian Research and Conservation Institute. He's been studying Florida's swallow-tailed kites since the 1990s.

Help swallow-tail kites and all Florida birds by incorporating native plants into your yard. Find support from the Florida Native Plant Society and Florida Association of Native Nurseries. 

Find swallow-tail kites at sites on the Great Florida Birding Trail and with the ebird app.
