    Well the Wetlands has been a little crowded the last couple of weeks due to the arrival of this Juvenile (Female) Snail Kite. First time we have ever had a Snail Kite this far north/east of Oceola County at the Wetlands.
    Made a quick loop around the Wetlands, didn't take long to spot this hovering raptor! Winds were very strong with the approaching cold front which made some nice flight shots!

    Top notch as usual, Eric.
