Limpkin

Just as we were getting ready to leave our campsite Kate spotted this bird. It was backlit and we both thought it was a blue heron. Once I looked at it closely on the computer I realized it was not a blue heron... instead we think it is a Limpkin and they are only seen in Florida and Georgia.

This has quite a Japanese feel, like the silk of a kimono. Love it

A lovely capture with the shape of the bird highlighted by the rippled water in the background! And what a great sighting, too! Fav

The beak is quite a different look to a Heron. Nice looking bird.
