p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · 2 Kite species... same day!!!!


I was fortunate the other day to capture 2 different species of Kites in the same day. I was finally able to capture a Swallow-tailed kite eating. Then on our way home we stopped to take some pictures of a Limpkin and to our surprise there was a Snail Kite posing for us. This was the first one I have ever seen let alone been able to photograph. CC always welcomed and appreciated.

Nice, sharp images. Interesting birds. When visiting a friend, I used to see Snail Kites in a preserve in Southeast Florida near West Palm Beach. They put on quite a show in the methods used to extricate the snail from the outer shell. A few years ago I read reports that their numbers in Florida were dropping--something about changes in water flow equaling less snail habitat. I hope those reports were mistaken.
