JimNeiger Senior Member More info | May 11, 2011 22:26 | #1 Here is the second 7 of a series of 14 images with a Red-winged Black Bird attacking a Male Snail Kite. The RWBB actualy rode the back of the Snail Kite all the way to his nest. The Kite is carrying a piece of a Snail to feed his young chicks. Please see part 1. I hope you like the images. Thanks for looking!        Jim Neiger - Kissimmee, Florida
