Wildlife photography by Dawn Currie. A solitary Snail Kite focusing in on his next meal - his favorite Apple Snails. Photographed on Cypress Lake near Kenansville, FL.
Snail Kites (Rostrhamus sociabilis) feed almost entirely on freshwater apple snails (genus Pomacea). These include both the native Florida apple snail (P. paludosa) and non-native snails recently introduced to Florida, such as the island apple snail (P. maculata) and spike-topped apple snail (P. diffusa). Snail Kites forage from perches or while flying slowly above shallow, clear, open water, watching for snails. They drop onto snails and seize them in the talons (never the bill), then perch before extracting the snail with the bill. Snail Kites sometimes try to steal apple snails from Limpkins.
