Robert G. Stalnaker April 01, 2008

Kathy, re the snails, I only wish they were food for the rare, and declining, Snail Kite (formerly known as the Everglades Kite) as Apple Snails are the only food they eat with their specialized beak, and they live mosty in the Everglades. But Kay, I will bet my bottom dollar you don't live in the Everglades. :) #5728340
