The Limpkin is a tropical bird, common from the Amazon basin to Florida, wherever there are significant concentrations of Apple Snails\u2026and it\u2019s beak is adapted specifically to extract snails from their shells. It is the only member of its family\u2026most closely related to rails and cranes. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications.
