Snail Kites by Dr. Ken Meyer

Dr. Ken Meyer, Executive Director at the nonprofit Avian Research and Conservation Institute in Gainesville, has been studying Snail Kites for over 25 years.
Dr. Meyer also carries out research on Swallow-tailed Kites and the even rarer Short-tailed Hawks, a tropical species with a small Florida population. For Orange Audubon Society’s February 18th in-person program, Dr. Meyer will share current knowledge of biology of these two rare raptors.
