This Limpkin sat clicking away on the railing for a very long time.
Only after several minutes did I notice that he appeared to be trying to get the attention of this other Limpkin strolling casually below!
But despite his best efforts, he was getting no response She (?) just did NOT seem impressed! 😅 After one last ditch effort to strut his stuff, the showy Limpkin gave up and ambled off.

Nice CATCH! I read that they eat snails. Interesting! Like that old joke, What did the snail say when it was riding on the back of a turtle? *SLOW DOWN!!*

Cute joke, Yishai!😅. Yes, Limpkins especially love to eat apple snails. And they are accommodating enough to eat both native and non-native Apple snails 🐌

It was a delightful scenario to witness, Donna! Maybe you can tell… It was at Corkscrew Swamp.

Corkscrew! I actually saw Limpkins there last Feb/March, it is a perfect habitat for them.

These Limpkins were almost the only large birds I saw on this trip.

Fun watching these Limpkins though I confess the videos were taken with my iPhone not a camera!

Terrific footage! Nice work.
Another scenario might be a teenager yelling at Mom “When’s supper gonna be ready?” Then: “Escargot again?? I’m going out for pizza.”
I prefer the love angle.

I prefer the love angle, too, but I really like your alternative scenarios!😉

A true joy to see this wonderful series of limpkin love, BJ. I love to see this beautiful and distinctive bird, but we don’t have a lot of places in this country where they live. The few times I have had the pleasure to see a limpkin, it was in countries south of the U.S., and there was not this kind of interaction and activity. What a treat this was!

Now that you mention their very limited range, I feel even more fortunate that these charming birds are so common here!
