Snail Kite

The Snail Kite is a bird of prey with a unique diet: it mostly eats apple snails, a freshwater mollusk found in Central and South Florida wetlands, including the Everglades. Its curved beak is slightly off-center, making it easy to snag the snail from its spiral shell. Seeing these hunters hovering over the Everglades’ is a classic Florida sight.
