Hook-billed Kite

Last crawled date: 2 years, 11 months ago

A recent arrival north of the border, this sluggish tropical hawk was first found in southern Texas in 1964 and has been a regular resident there ever since 1975. It may be seen sailing over the trees or soaring high, but normally spends much of its time down within the canopy of the woods, where it searches for its staple food of tree snails. It is usually seen in pairs or family groups in Texas, but has been seen in flocks in South America. #animal #bill #bird #birdman #feather #forest #grande #hawk #hook #kite #lower #rio #south #texas #valley #wing
