Everglades Snail Kites are disappearing


How ironic that what was killing off the Cape Sable Seaside Sparrow is what`s needed to save the Everglades Snail Kite. Because of severe drought conditions in the prime habitat of the Snail Kite the food on which it is named for is disappearing as well. But I would not put the blame squarely on the drought rather those who have caused it to begin with. Sadly the Everglades restoration may not come quick enough for the bird which bears it`s name.
