Hi All, Well here is my version of a female snail kite landing with a snail...I really like the one posted earlier by Jill....however this is what I got! Hope you like it as much!! Comments welcome! The following are my exposure details...I did use NikColor on the sky...and the image was cropped (more than I wanted!)
Best to All...Michael

Nice landing pose and good light! Hope to see a little more of the eyes tho.

Lovely wing posture and spread talons, some catchlight on the eye would have been a bonus.
