Limpkin
There is a noticeable decline in apple snails in the lakes and marsh areas in central Florida and apple snails are one of the main foods of Limpkin, needless to say there is also a decline in their numbers as well. From my personal observations fish and wildlife management is part of the cause because they spray invasive non native plants with weed control sprays to unclog the waters they are invading. Natural resource management has a double edged sword at times.
