The main distribution of Limpkins is Florida and Georgia. The storms might bring them to our state, Louisiana.
The birds are observed in other several states such as:
- Texas
- Wisconsin
- and Maryland.
In addition to storms, the birds come to our areas (neighborhood) due to their source of food: Apple Snails.

Snails include Apple snails quite popular seafood in our state, you may read about this snail at previous posts:

Hello,
ReplyDeleteIt is a great bird to see, but I am not sure if it is a Limpkin. It looks more like an immature Night Heron. The Limpkins have a longer beak. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a happy Easter weekend.
I just identify it with Google .....

I've never encountered a Limpkin. It's amazing how storms can lead to these kinds of appearances.

They are very loud and you usually hear them before you see them. I saw one on a nest recently and put pics on my blog. They are fun to see and pretty rare!
ReplyDeletealmost impossible to see in our areas
DeleteI just went back and looked and noticed the short beak too. It may not be a Limpkin but it's a neat sighting!
