Got one 20 yards away from me breakfast shopping right now, definitely a Limpkin


Why say a long downward curved beak if it is a Limpkin? That screams Ibis to me.

Limpkins are awesome! About 5 years ago, 4 or so showed up in Bayou Black when it was being overrun with apple snails. 5 years later, I rarely see the pink eggs and limpkins are everywhere. They are absolutely devastating to the snails

It looks and sounds like this. Let’s say a downsloping beak then. Limpkin

That's literally how it's described by Cornell, Florida FWS, and others.
