Very nice. I've never seen nor heard of a Snail Kite. Thanks for the introduction. Interestingly, their claws seem perfectly suited for holding snails...as opposed to grasping and killing mammals, for example. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for checking them out. Snail kites are small raptors a bit bigger than the white swallow tail kites, and kestrels. It's fun to watch them take work their beak into the snail and pull out the flesh.
