A pair of Limpkin built their nest on this sandbar.

They got quite perturbed at our presence and kept popping up at different places and making loud noises to try to draw us away from their nest. We hated to disturb them, but needed to get out of the boat for a few minutes.

Limpkin taking a bath

Normally active at night, this Limpkin found a shaded pool for a morning bath.

Like the Ibis, the Limpkin likes shallow waters for feeding. They will feed in small groups of mixed birds like Ibis or Little Blue Herons, but seldom in a family flock.
