Limpkin Maternal Care (1 of 1)
I was recently at Myakka River State Park and spent a pleasant morning watching many Limpkins feeding on freshwater mussels at the mouth of the river. For the most part, they were tolerant of each other, with the occasional skirmish, which will be my next post. In this one a mother was catching mussels, separating the meat from the shell and sharing with her chick, sometimes taking a bit for herself. I enjoyed watching their interaction and they were very tolerant of my presence. (Aramus guarauna) (Sony a1, 400mm f/2.8 at f/4, 1/1000 second, ISO 400)
