Foraging Limpkin

I photographed this Limpkin foraging for snails at the Lake Woodruff National Wildlife Refuge years ago. I was going through backup drives cleaning out unnecessary files to clean up storage space and backing up other files. In the process I found these images of the Limpkin.

First to find a Limpkin, and then get that close… I’m quite jealous! Great shots. Keep them coming! Lots of time on my hands now. LOL

  I know what you mean! I am going through external drives with images from previous outings that I have not used or gotten to before because of work getting in the way. Now that I am retired gives me something to do. Tomorrow will be Sora Images.

Nice shots, Reed! I had to look this one up on allaboutbirds.org as I am unfamiliar with it. Fascinating adapted bill for eating snails, winnowing feathers, and what a cry– yikes!

  Thanks Donna! When I was photographing it I had no idea as to what it was!
