Two Significant Specimens of the Swallow-tailed Kite from Alabama

Published in 1964

The wing and tail measurements of two Swallow-tailed Kites collected in Alabama conform with those of Elanoides forficatus yetapa (Vieillot), the South American Swallow-tailed Kite, rather than with the prescribed race, Elanoides forficatus forficatus (Linnaeus), the North American Swallow-tailed Kite.
