We've Moved! As of December 2020, ARCI's Swallow-tailed Kite Migration Odyssey blog has moved to our new website.

https://www.arcinst.org/blog/

All future content will be published there and this site will remain active with the archived blogs. We enjoy sharing the results and stories of our GPS-tracked Swallow-tailed Kites with you. Thank you for following along!

Once seen along the Mississippi River as far north as Minnesota, the Swallow-tailed Kite's range is now just a third its historic size. In the last 40 years, up to 80% of formerly common bird species have declined.

ARCI works to develop management techniques for these at-risk birds, but we must apply them now, before their recovery becomes impossible.

Since 1996, we have used satellite telemetry to study the ecology of Swallow-tailed Kites, including the 10,000 mile migration they make each year to the humid plains of Brazil and back to the lowlands of the southeast U.S.

Avian Research and Conservation Institute (ARCI) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that has gained attention and respect for difficult, problem-solving research on rare and imperiled birds.
