Since it was relatively cool today (88º), I walked to the end of  
Meander Lake, which is located behind the fish ponds, to see if the  
kites had begun their annual gathering before migration. There were  
only 14 kites visible roosting in the trees, but several more   
including at least one juvenile were observed circling above. If the  
past, as many as 50-60 have been seen in the area. It is a little  
early, but it is worth a trip to see the kites having what appears to  
be a great time.

Meander Lake is shown in the  D-4 block of the Shelby Farms map in
