Swallow-tailed Kite (Elanoides forficatus)

Long County, Georgia

These raptors capture flying insects and consume
them on-the-wing. They extend their feet outward
with their toes and talons in a basket configuration
and capture the insect within. This one has just
closed its feet around a flying beetle.
