Limpkin at Florida

Florida's low-lying peninsula, laced with freshwater marshes & cypress stands, provides exactly the wetland mosaic that Limpkins favour, making the state a dependable place to find them. Photographers joining the Florida Ospreys holiday in April often encounter this striking, chocolate-&-white speckled bird stalking the shallows alongside the region's other wetland specialities. The marsh edges offer good sightlines for capturing its distinctive long bill & wading posture against the reflective water. April's conditions on this trip make it a fine time to add the Limpkin to your Florida portfolio.
