    People in the neighborhood had seen the bird for about three weeks but it was only today it was identified when a birder heard about it. It is a first for the island.

    Snail Kite photographed on the west coast of Mexico. Guidebooks say that this species exists only on the Gulf side. Same for Birdlife and Cornel Labs Neotropical Birds and every other source I have seen. Snail Kites are common on the west coast north of Puerto Vallarta.

    I believe this is a 1st year bird. The marsh has enough snails to feed the Kite's and the Limpkin's.
