Where do everglades kites live?

Everglades kites, a species of raptor, primarily inhabit the wetlands and prairies of southern Florida, particularly within the Everglades National Park and surrounding areas. They prefer habitats with abundant marshes, cypress swamps, and areas rich in their primary food source, such as small mammals and insects. These birds are often seen soaring over open landscapes in search of prey. Their range is largely restricted to this specific region, making them a unique component of the local ecosystem.
