Note(s): The analysis of serum chemistries is becoming a vital diagnostic tool for assessing the health of free-ranging birds of prey. The serum chemistries of 21 free-ranging swallow-tailed kites, Elanoides forficatus nestlings were measured in 1995 and 2003 in several regions of Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. One hematological value (PCV) and twenty-four serum values were measured to establish normal baseline parameters for the kites.
