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. Use the contact form on the right to start your Snail Kite adventure.
