You may think these birds are terrific, but for the next week they screamed at each other at that hour--not exactly what I would call terrific when you are trying to sleep. Then the screaming became sporadic and later in the morning. However, this morning I saw the mama and her newly hatched baby outside my kitchen window. Apparently there is a nest dug out under the water's edge. I guess it was worth losing sleep after all!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14327569.post-70065636740806075222011-03-05T00:27:08.987-05:002011-03-05T00:27:08.987-05:00Awesome post Dawn and great shots of the Limpkin! ...Awesome post Dawn and great shots of the Limpkin!

Limpkins are actually increasing in South Florida, south of Lake Okeechobee. Apple Snails come in two types: the native (smaller) one which is in decline and the larger exotic one whose population is exploding everywhere and the reason for the increase in the Limpkin population. Sadly, this exotic Apple Snail increase has not benefited the endangered Snail Kite, which feeds on the same snail. That's a whole other matter. And, the decline in Apple Snails in Florida has nothing to do with collectors. These aren't Florida Tree Snails (LIguus Snails)!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14327569.post-62377692526011757092011-02-11T22:29:22.491-05:002011-02-11T22:29:22.491-05:00squawmama
