Limpkin, #12/50



The top image was taken @ Wellington  Environmental Preserve, the middle image was taken @ a Recreation pull off boat ramp off Alligator Alley, and the bottom was taken @ Merritt Island.

Interesting Facts:  A large bird with long legs and a bill that is slightly decurved, is brown with large white spotting. Secretive, it occurs discontinuously from the south-east USA, and common in South Florida. Known as the "crying bird", it is often tame when encountered.
