Snail Kite | Rostrhamus sociabilis | 2023 - 7

Snail Kite

The Snail Kite (Rostrhamus sociabilis) is a Bird of Prey within the family Accipitridae, which also includes the eagles, hawks, and Old-World vultures. Its relative, the slender-billed kite, is now again placed in Helicolestes, making the genus Rostrhamus monotypic. Usually, it is placed in the milvine kites, but the validity of that group is under investigation.
