Description
This foot tall Snail Kite was resting on a small Cypress tree near Lake Tohopekliga, in Central Florida. This protected bird eats the Apple Snails that inhabit the nearby lake. The sharp curved beak is perfect for working with snails. The Snail Kite demands a warm climate, because it is necessary for the fist size snails to survive in the water. It is always a treat to see one overlooking the shallow waters.
