Limpkin and Apple Snails

Limpkin at the Viera Wetlands - They survive almost exclusively on a diet of Apple Snails.

If a freshwater lake or marsh does not have a large supply of Apple Snails, you are not going to see a Linpkin there.

Luckily the Viera Wetlands has lots of Apple Snails for the Limpkin to feed on.

Nice shots...and close-up...good detail and color!

Wow, excellent captures of the Limking feeding! The colors come out really good. Well done Ira!

great detail and color, really like the crop

Nice shots, Ira. Am hoping our Limpkins show up here again this year. There's usually one at Corkscrew and another at Eagle Lakes. The latter had a nest there last year. When the little ones fledged, there were Apple Snail shells everywhere!

nice ones Ira

Love `em Ira...very nicely executed captures.
It's amazing to me how dexterous they can be with such a large beak.

neat capture, Ira

Both are nice Ira, but I greatly appreciate the IQ of that pretty close up.
