    Snail Kite ..flight shots

    Well the Wetlands has been a little crowded the last couple of weeks due to the arrival of this Juvenile (Female) Snail Kite.
    Made a quick loop around the Wetlands, didn't take long to spot this hovering raptor! Winds were very strong with the approaching cold front which made some nice flight shots!
