This female Snail Kite gave us terrific views as it circled around over a large pond in the Pantanal. She showed pretty much zero concern about our presence allowing for some nice photo opportunities. Shortly after this photo was taken she landed on a low perch near where we were standing that had a huge pile of snail shells and hollow crabs underneath it. Obviously she had a favorite feeding spot.
