It eats only snails, Apple Snails by preference, but with the decline of the Apple Snail, it will eat one of introduced species that is infesting Florida waters as well. It is locally common in Florida but it is one of those birds that either is there, or isn&#8217;t there, and most places, even in Florida, it isn&#8217;t. I have seen them regularly at Viera Wetlands in small numbers, and found several yesterday at Orlando Wetlands Park in Christmas. Sony RX10iv at 600mm.
