This specialized diet restricts the Snail Kite to wetlands, so if that habitat is destroyed, the bird declines. When hunting, Snail Kites fly low over marshlands, plunging down to snatch snails from just under the water or from vegetation. They then return to a favorite perch to feed. Although common in Latin America, the species is a federal and state endangered species in the United States.
