Snail Kite

Osceola Co, Florida

D2X, 600, ISO 250, f8, 1/640.

Going through some old files and found this one.
I removed a couple of sticks at the bottom of the frame.

Impressively sharp at 1/640s! Love the detail in the eye and beak. Great BG too. Stellar shot as per usual.

Love this, Alan. Friends in Hong Kong has one with a snake around its neck. Sorry, I missed it.
