Only a small proportion of kites escaped a regional drought by moving to refugia... Many individuals died after the drought. fragmentation may decrease the kite s resistance to drought by restricting exploratory behavior.

Only a small proportion of kites escaped a regional drought by moving to refugia... Many individuals died after the drought. fragmentation may decrease the kite s resistance to drought by restricting exploratory behavior.
21 Summary Since 2007, we collected >90,000 satellite locations for 22 Snail Kites tagged throughout the species Florida range. Of the ~80,000 GPS locations, 52% during the breeding season were outside the natural wetlands representing the Snail Kite s historic range (54% in the non breeding season). These peripheral wetlands include canals, drainage ditches, retention ponds, and altered natural areas that are not managed as suitable kite habitat or included in monitoring efforts. Snail Kites regularly travel long distances, often rapidly with very directed flight. They cross or settle in habitats previously considered unsuitable. This poses management challenges. However, this behavior may benefit Snail Kites, which historically depended upon a vast network of wetlands in which local prey availability varied with unpredictable and continuously changing hydrologic conditions.
22 Some questions What portion of the Snail Kite population extensively uses or nests in non traditional ( peripheral ) wetlands? Are these wetlands sources or sinks? How can satellite tracking data help assess detection probabilities for other marking methods? What threats do these non traditional wetlands pose (e.g., increased exposure to predators, toxins, disturbance, etc.)? What are the sub lethal reproductive effects of documented mercury concentrations, particularly in WCA 3A and ENP? SNKI mercury concentrations K. Meyer, G. Kent, and D. Evers
