Limpkin
An unusual bird of southern swamps and marshes, the Limpkin reaches the northern limits of its breeding range in Florida.
They feed almost exclusively on apple snails.
The Limpkin’s bill is uniquely adapted to foraging on apple snails. The closed bill has a gap just before the tip that makes the bill act like tweezers. The tip itself is often curved slightly to the right so it can be slipped into the right-handed chamber of the snail.
American Wood Stork
North America’s only stork
We love to watch these pre-historic-looking birds soar on the winds
A face only a mother could love?
Preening those all-important feathers
