I just returned from a photography trip to Florida where I got to see many birds, including snail kites which are the most endangered raptor in North America. Here are a few shots. From left to right, if the attachments are showing in the right order, are:

1. Male in flight
2. Juvenile on a snail
3. Female landing
4. Male perched
5. Female perched
