Somehow this reminded me of Michael Jordan driving to the basket. Snail Kites were high on my wish list for this trip to Florida in March. I've posted a few others, but not this one. I had wanted to get a shot of the Kite with an Apple Snail and here he obliged. But try as I might I could not get him to come in on sun angle, given the wind and sun conditions. So the side lighting is not to my satisfaction.
