Very nice shots of the Limpkin! I have yet to get one in IL so I should go up there before it takes off. I usually go the day after they leave…
Thanks! As long as the pond keeps delivering mussels I think it will stick around.
Great picture. I went up to see it too. For me it was hiding in the grasses, but still fun to see.
