A strikingly marked raptor of the southeastern United States, the Swallow-tailed Kite (Elanoides forficatus) captures flying insects or plucks insects and lizards from the tops of trees. The population in the US appears stable. It was a special opportunity to photograph the Kite just after it plucked a clump of Spanish Moss from a tree in Everglades National Park.
