Snail Kite in El Valle, a report by Venicio Wilson

I always thought of Snail Kite as a bird of marshlands and lakes. However, today as we came down from Cerro Cara Iguana in El Valle de Antón, we found this juvenile resting over a little dam next to the road. I checked the bird list provided by the Canopy Lodge in 2005 and there is no mention of this species been there in El Valle. The pictures are not the best since I use my cell phone and binoculars to make them.
