Temporal influence on foraging strategies, territoriality and nomadic tendencies of Snail Kite, Rosthramus sociabilis (Viellot, 1817) in an urban Neotropical wetland Temporalidade e estratégias de forrageamento, territorialidade e deslocamento do gavião-caramujeiro Rosthramus sociabilis (Viellot, 1817) em uma área urbana úmida Neotropical

The foraging, territoriality and displacement of the Snail Kite were studied over 232 hours of observations in an urban lake during the dry and wet seasons.
