Description


This is a chocolate brown Limpkin – 26 inches (66cm) long. It is a wading bird that I caught in our side yard, hunting for snails and insects. He is named for its unusual limping gate. He walks or hunts with his legs bent and his body very close to the ground. He hangs around our lake because there are fresh water clams in there. ZOOM to see his large web-less feet. Photo taken yesterday morning. Thanks for stopping by, taking a look and for all your previous comments and favs. Dana

These look much like our Hadeda birds - eating habits seem similar too. Cheers, Clive
