A snail kite flying over vegetation at Lake Gatun, or Lago Gatun, near the Panama Canal. Snail kits specialize in feeding on snails in southern freshwater wetlands and can be found all throughout the tropics including South America, Central America, the Caribbean, and even southern Florida. Their range is beginning to spread thanks to invasive non-native snails in North America. The scientific name is Rostrhamus sociabilis. Photo by Jared Lloyd
