Great work. Hope the youngster will make it. I am a Kite fan also but generally followed the Everglades Kites a bit more than the Swallow tails.

They are supposed to keep us informed. We hope for the best. We are very realistic with how “Mother Nature “ works. We did our best to help without doing more harm than good. It was a very special encounter for my family. We all have a soft spot😉. Thank you again JB for some quick legwork, it got us in touch with someone willing to help on a Saturday evening. It’s hard to google with a bird pooping on your shoulder.

Whole family has one. We like kite birds… alot. My daughter has a red tailed hawk on the back of one arm and a long leaf pine on the opposite arm.

Thank you for caring enough!!!
I am on a lot of wildlife groups (photography etc) Florida wildlife, birds of prey, raptors.... My leg work was mostly posting that we had an urgent situation with a ST Kite and needed a qualified rehab in Florida Now..... I tagged a couple of rehabbers I know.... That is how it came in so quickly...

Was also wondering if there’s any update on the bird’s recovery?

We heard this morning that the bird is doing well. They will have to run testing for diseases and then turn it over (If everything is good) to a more specialized rehab program to get him in shape for release. So far everything is good but they have protocols that take some time. We are pulling for the little guy, so far so good.
