Limpkin....

Limpkin - Aramus guarauna for the Blip Big Year.

What a day! Had a ton to do like normal here lately.... Got up about 4:30 and decided to throw it all on the fire for today and have some fun. Jumped on the motorcycle and headed south to see some birds, and oh what a day. I saw great blue herons building nests, an eagle and osprey fight mid-air over a fish, four types of herons, two types of egrets, anhingas, hawks eating snakes, ducks galore..... Here is a link to Flickr showing some of the fun. Biker Bear, if you ahve read this far go there, there is a nesting pair of anhingas!

Also, saw a gator eat a coot. Not a pretty sight. ****WARNING**** Here is a link to some gator pics from today, some VERY graphic, please be warned!!!!
