  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;The Everglade Kite (&lt;i&gt;Rostrhamus sociabilis plumbeus&lt;/i&gt;) of Florida has been called snail hawk or snail kite because it was thought to feed exclusively on the soft parts of the freshwater apple snail (&lt;i&gt;Pomacea paludosa&lt;/i&gt;) (Nicholson 1926, Howell 1932, Bent 1937, Snyder and Snyder 1969). Furthermore, the other three subspecies of this wide-ranging Neotropical raptor (Friedmann 1950) are known to feed only on species within the genus Pomacea (Haverschmidt 1962, 1970; Brown and Amadon 1968). We report here two different instances of kites feeding on nonsnail prey in Florida&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
