Limpikin (view large)
from Wiki: "The limpkin, also called carrao, courlan, and crying bird, is a bird that looks like a large rail but is skeletally closer to cranes. It is the only extant species in the genus Aramus and the family Aramidae. It is found mostly in wetlands in warm parts of the Americas, from Florida to northern Argentina." It is as loud as a crane, and very chatty and social. It looks for apple snails which it dispatches rapidly.
