Description
Limpkin (Aramus guarauna). This bird is found in south-eastern USA and the West Indies, and also from southern Mexico to Argentina. It is found in wetlands, where it eats snails, frogs, insects, worms, and other small water animals, using its long beak to probe mud as it wades in shallow waters. It is usually about 70 centimetres tall. Photographed at Orlando Wetlands Park, Florida, USA.
