Snail Kite Calling and Eating Snails

The call of the Endangered male Snail Kite on the St. John's River in central Florida is rather low-key but unique for a raptor. This male kite patiently waits to spot an Apple Snail moving on aquatic vegetation and then snatches it and expertly remove the tasty morsel with its uniquely adapted claws and beak. Escargot for breakfast it doesn't get any better than this! 🔴 New HD videos uploaded weekly.
