Description
This is a Limpkin and he is part of a wildlife display, at the Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge visitors center. I do not like to post stuffed birds and animals but the Limpkins are very elusive. They are about 26 inches (66 cm) long and about the same measurements for the wingspan. The live in the surrounding wetlands and eat snails, frogs, insects and fresh water clams. Their mating call is an ear piercing krr-oww and is mostly heard at night. We have a very lonely male living in a tree right outside our patio. We wish that he finds a mate soon! Zoom worthy!
Thanks for stopping by, taking a look and for all your previous favs and comments. They are very much appreciated.

very beautiful bird!!
the only way I like my birds stuffed is with dressing (turkey, chicken, Game hens,....) Great shot he is probably singing Elvis' song, 'Are you Lonsome tonight?'
Gorgeous bird. :))) I know what you are saying about a male bird looking for a mate. We have a bird here in the summer and he will sing all nite long. LOL!!!!! Most excellent capture and details. :))))) Thank you for sharing all of the beauty you see. :))))) Carry A Smile In Your Heart :)))))))
great!!
Very good capture!
So nice, I like the clear water too. Fantastic capture!
don't like stuffed birds/animals but this looks beautiful !!
I would not have known it was stuffed! So I just have to sit in a tree at night, and krr-oww then, is that it?
This exhibit looks very realistic, perhaps you could introduce it to the one in your tree.
Too bad it's stuffed, superb image still!
beautiful shot, great moment
You knocked the stuffing right out of me Dana, I thought this was alive until I read your narrative! It is a very nice picture.
Fascinating to see this bird which is totally new to me. Let's hope your chap is uccessful soon!
Whoever stuffed this bird is very good at their work-It look's like your capture is through glass which make's the capture even more difficult--Beautiful capture of this fine looking bird...
Gorgeous bird, dear Dana. Love it! Hugs for all day. Di. xx

Good shot - it gives us an appreciation of this creatures habitat and appearance even if it is only a static display.
