The swallow-tailed kite has been called “the coolest bird on the planet.” Why? Perhaps it is because of their unmistakably bold black-and-white plumage or their impressive diet. These birds eat many stinging insects including wasps and fire ants! In Florida, the kites often return to their home with whole wasp nests, eat the larvae, and add the insect’s nest into their own. They can do this because their stomachs are thicker and spongier than the average raptor stomach. While on the hunt, their aerial acrobatics are quite the spectacle-- they switch from a straight course to a tight turn in an instant. Adults swallow their food while flying, rarely perching during the day. This brilliant bird was photographed at @auduboncbop. To see this birds beautiful feathers visit @natgeowild.
