Kay and I are lucky enough to have relatives who live beside ponds and lakes 
near Inverness FL where several snail kites have been seen the last couple of 
years.  A lightning visit last week yielded a close view of a feeding 
immature, and lengthy viewing of three more cruising too and fro across the 
weedy 
marshy "lake", followed by a close up of one roosting. A truly memorable sight. 
If 
we add feeding fork tailed kites, and misc. hawks, bald eagle, osprey etc.a 
memorable two days, but no scrub jay. Leave something to go back for. The lakes 
with the snail kites can be accessed by small boats but are otherwise 
surrounded by private houses.  Ralph and Kay Brinkhurst, Wilson Co. Lebanon
