Endangered male Snail Kite (a type of Hawk) on the St. John's River in central Florida flying low over the marsh using its keen eyesight to spot large Apple Snails to grab. A critically Endangered species all Florida Snail Kites are precious as their habitat continues to be destroyed. They are now only found in central and southern Florida. They have adapted an extreme hooked beak and and extra long talon that are used to remove apple snails from their shells - their only food source. To find the snails they need shallow clear open water and then they grab them with their talons. There was a Great Blue Heron standing right next to me the whole time I was filming and when the kite was done with his air show I looked at the heron and he looked at me like - wow that was impressive!
Florida Snail Kite: Rostrhamus sociabilis.
