Geoffrey C Smith and Mark Smith film and photograph migrating Swallowtail Kites in Florida.
My favorite time to be on the water is when the sun peaks over the horizon and, the water begins to reflect tiny flashes of the silver-white sun, I love the way it dances on trees and water. Follow me today for an early morning adventure to meet the "Real Snowbirds of Florida." Florida hosts many migratory birds, we will first visit the Swallowtail Kites in a secret location, joined by my wife and photographer friend, Mark Smith from @MarkSmithphotography and we will experience the Swallowtails in their natural habitat.
This acrobatic bird is undeniable when you look up to see its scissor-like tail against the blue sky. This hidden lake is where we have been photographing and filming the Swallowtail Kites. Hundreds of Swallowtail Kites were up in the trees, and then they would leave their roost to feed, drink water, soar, and then fly away. This is a part of their staging behavior before they make the trip back down to South America. Here in Florida, we don't have seasons except for bird migration season. The Swallowtail kite marks the beginning of summer and hurricane season too. Seeing them all roost together is a magnificent sight.
Multi-times Artist Hall of Fame nominee, Geoffrey Smiths' work appears in many museums and the Vatican, gifted by the President of the United States, and in important private and public collections worldwide.
