A long-standing tradition within our local community, Kites Against Cancer demonstrates Exeter Hospital's commitment to patients, their families and our community. Celebrate Kites Against Cancer as the sky above Hampton Beach becomes filled with kites of all colors as friends, family and neighbors gather to honor and remember loved ones affected by cancer.
Since 2004, Kites Against Cancer has been filling the sky with kites as a sign of hope and support of cancer patients and their loved ones. Created by Anne-Marie Viviano, a former Exeter Hospital cancer patient, who launched the Beyond the Rainbow Fund, which assists families with expenses and wellness therapies during their cancer treatment.
100% of all net proceeds from the event will go into the Beyond the Rainbow Fund to be used to support the non-clinical needs of our active cancer patients.

In many ways, knowing about threats like these only gives Meyer and Kent more to worry about. But knowledge of where individual birds go and what they face along the way may provide insights into future population shifts. And if, for example, they were to document an increase in the mortality rate of overwintering birds, the information could prove useful in advocating for stricter international environmental protections for kites and their habitats.
Suwannee, who successfully fledged a buff-headed chick after he was tagged, has spent the past six weeks recuperating and preparing for the long migration ahead. Rather than joining larger groups of kites at roosts further south, he spent most of that time closer to home, foraging in pastureland to the east of his nesting territory and roosting nearby with several dozen kites along the Suwannee River. Finally, on a bright, clear morning early this month, he took to the air and left the Florida coast. Exactly what his future holds is impossible to predict, but Kent and Meyer will be watching every step of the way.
Nearly five years ago my mother began working for a company called Kitty Hawk Kites. They sell clothing, toys, games, and (believe it or not) kites. She was in charge of running the Amazon department for them, and thus began to learn more about kites. I was 13 at the time, and around Christmas time when my mother was trying to decide what to get my sisters and me. She decided that I might enjoy a kite.
There are more types of kites than you might think. Most people when they think of kites think of just a basic diamond shape with one line; the quintessential kite. However, not only are there many shapes and types of kites that have one line, but there are also many kites that have two, three, and four lines. These are called sport kites or stunt kites. You can control them to make them do all kinds of tricks and flips in the air. My mother thought that I would love this, and got me a two-line stunt kite for Christmas.
All eyes have been focused on the skies above the FHSU campus this spring and summer, alert to the presence of Mississippi Kites. One pair of kites has nested in a tree between Forsyth Library and Malloy Hall on Campus Drive, vigorously defending the surrounding area of several hundred yards.
Statistics provided by the Department of Fishery and Wildlife Biology at Colorado State University indicate that instances of aggressive swoop attacks by kites occur at less than 20% of nesting sites. It turns out that at least one of our winged summer guests is among that 20% of more aggressive kites.
Despite the best efforts of the FHSU Grounds team, a steady stream of first-hand accounts seem to indicate that at least one of the nesting kites-likely the male-remains bent on defending his nest and a good portion of central campus. Reports of close encounters of the kite kind include instances of the fast-moving raptor swooping low to buzz pedestrians. We have also received reports of individuals receiving thumps on the head from the knuckles of the bird's rolled talons.
Mississippi kites are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918, which means the birds, their eggs, and their offspring cannot be moved, captured, hunted, or killed. This includes the nest as well.
While humans pose little to no threat, there are other clear and present dangers to a nesting family of kites. These include strong Kansas winds and thunderstorms, raccoons, owls, and cats. Thus, a nesting colony of kites can be very protective of the area around their nests.
