Snail Kite!

Went down to a couple of parks today in Gainesville Florida. This one was at La Chua Park. Lots of birds and alligators. Found this one, which someone identified as a Female Snail Kite. Not one that I'm used to seeing up in Jacksonville.

Nice shot. It is banded, so must have been caught at some point.
