Snail Kites feed exclusively on Apple Snails and they snatch them out of snail beds with their perfectly sculpted talons. When they are airborne again after snatching the snail, and while in flight, they will often transfer the snail to their equally perfectly sculpted beaks so that they can more easily land on a branch or twig to consume it. This male Snail Kite releases his talons just as he grabs the snail in his beak. Aah, dinner is soon to come.
