LIMPKIN (Aramus guarauna pictus)

Myakka River State Park - Sarasota, Florida

The Limpkin is a marsh bird of the New World tropics. It looks superficially like an ibis, has the general anatomy of a crane, and shares many behavioral traits with rails. Recent DNA evidence places it close to the sungrebes and finfoots. The bill is designed to handle right-handed apple snails (Pomacea) on which this bird depends.
