Swallow-tailed Kite
The end of May brought so many unexpected birds that some of the rarest and most spectacular of them drew barely a mention in last week’s edition. Luckily for us, some of them stuck around, which gives me a chance to focus on the invasion of the kites, and the overall southern flavor of the birds on the Upper Cape this week.
From Sandwich to Eastham, I’ve been getting and seeing a lot of reports of one of the most impressive of the vagrant birds we see here – the Swallow-tailed Kite. At least one seemed to hang around East Falmouth for a week, but I suspect a few are about. They are one of the “unmistakables” – that’s a word you see in field guides a lot, but in my experience, nothing is truly that. Swallow-tailed Kites come close.
Entrance to Joint Base Cape Cod
The Massachusetts Army National Guard has secured a key federal environmental approval that potentially puts it one step away from building a machine gun range on Joint Base Cape Cod, CAI has learned.
The Guard plans to announce the milestone Wednesday. The only remaining regulatory hurdle for the range is a state environmental review.
In an email sent to members of the Massachusetts congressional delegation, local Guard officials say the federal National Guard Bureau has signed off on a report that finds the proposed eight-lane range would have no significant environmental impacts.
The proposed range includes a plan to reduce the environmental impacts of the project by instituting four-to-one mitigation ratio, meaning that four acres would be preserved on the base for every one acre impacted. This would include an expansion of the Crane Wildlife Management Area just south of the base through a direct land transfer of 260 acres.

Members of Massachusetts’ congressional delegation are calling for a closer look at the environmental impacts of a proposed machine gun range that the Massachusetts Army National Guard wants to build on Joint Base Cape Cod.
In a letter, Rep. Bill Keating and Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey said the overwhelming majority of constituents who have contacted their offices believe that further review of the project should be required.
