SUMMARY:Swallow-tailed Kites & Short-tailed Hawks
DESCRIPTION:Conservation and Tracking\nSwallow-tailed Kites & Short-tailed Hawks \nJoin us to learn about the tracking of swallow-tailed kites and short-tailed hawks by the Avian Research and Conservation Institute. \nSwallow-tailed Kites (Elanoides forficatus) and Short-tailed Hawks (Buteo brachyurus) are two of Florida’s rarest and most special raptor species. The Avian Research and Conservation Institute (ARCI)\, based in Gainesville\, FL\, studies these raptors and tracks their movements and activity– including their presence at the Weedon Island Preserve! Join us for a presentation from Gina Kent of ARCI to hear about the latest conservation issues and status trends of these beautiful raptors. \nGina Kent has worked with ARCI since 2000 and is a Senior Conservation Scientist. She conducts bird surveys from small planes\, boats around the Florida Keys\, and climbs 100-foot-tall trees\, while working with many Florida specialty birds including Crested Caracara\, Swallow-tailed Kites\, Snail Kites\, Reddish Egrets\, White-crowned Pigeons\, and others. She is based in Florida but travels throughout the southeastern U.S. and internationally to research birds. Gina received an undergraduate degree in wildlife from the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point\, and a master’s degree from the Georgia Southern University. Her graduate thesis was on Swallow-tailed Kite migration and stopover sites. \n>>> REGISTER HERE <<<

SUMMARY:Swallow-Tailed Kites & People Who Track Them
DESCRIPTION:The Story of Swallow-Tailed Kites\nAnd the People Who Track Them \nSwallow-tailed Kites that breed in North America spend most of their lives on the wing traveling over vast distances. It is a treacherous journey at a treacherous time for this neo-tropical species that breeds primarily in the southern states\, with Florida being their primary breeding grounds. They are highly social birds with intricate lives and are among one of the most beautiful birds in the world. People have tracked them from the ground\, from the water\, from the air and with tracking devices to study their migratory patterns\, their life cycles and their social habits. \nJoin Barbara Walker of the Tampa Bay Raptor Rescue for this enlightening\, photographic enriched program and meet a live kite! \n>>> REGISTER HERE <<< \nSponsored by the Friends of Brooker Creek Preserve.

SUMMARY:THE SWAMP PEDDLERS
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Michael’s On East for our fourth annual Nature Lecture! This event brings a noted mission-relevant speaker to Sarasota. Past speakers include noted Florida photographer\, Clyde Butcher; author\, Andrea Wulf; and world-renowned entomologist\, Dr. Jack Longino. \nThis year’s speaker is award-winning author and historian\, Jason Vuic. \nTHE SWAMP PEDDLERS \nHow Lot Sellers\, Land Scammers\, and Retirees Built Modern Florida and Transformed the American Dream \nOriginally from Punta Gorda\, FL\, Jason Vuic is a graduate of Wake Forest University\, and holds an M.A. in history from the University of Richmond and a Ph.D. in history from Indiana University Bloomington. His first book\, The Yugo: the Rise and Fall of the Worst Car in History\, received rave reviews in over 100 print and web-based publications\, and in 2016\, his book The Yucks! Two Years in Tampa with the Losingest Team in NFL History\, garnered wide acclaim from several dozen media outlets and publications. \nIn 2021\, Vuic published The Swamp Peddlers\, a tale of misguided land development in Florida during the grow-at-any-cost 1950s and ’60s\, which won the Phillip and Dana Zimmerman Gold Medal Prize for Florida Nonfiction at the 2021 Florida Book Awards\, as well as the 2021 Charlton Tebeau Award for outstanding general interest book from the Florida Historical Society. \nIn this lecture by the same name\, Vuic dives into the history of the “installment land sales industry\,” which seemingly appeared out of nowhere to sell billions of dollars of Florida residential property\, sight unseen\, to retiring northerners. For only $10 down and $10 a month\, working-class pensioners could buy a piece of the Florida dream: a graded homesite waiting for them in a planned community when they were ready to build. The result was Cape Coral\, Port St. Lucie\, Deltona\, Port Charlotte\, Palm Coast\, and Spring Hill\, among many others–sprawling exurban communities with no downtowns and little industry but millions of residential lots. These communities allowed generations of northerners to move to Florida cheaply\, but at a price. \nWe hope you’ll join us for what promises to be a captivating program. \n>>> RSVP HERE <<< \n
