I’m often watching multi nature shows when I’m out in the wild. Photographing in one direction while being aware of other things going on. In this moment there were two Limpkins digging for snails in the invasive hyacinth but my primary focus was on documenting the snail kites swooping down and grabbing snails… until the snail kites dove right into the limpkin show and everything started happening faster than I could even understand what was happening.

After uploading the images I was blown away to see some of the details of their fight!

In one of the images it looks like the Limpkin is standing on top of both Snail Kites.

Lmk if you have any questions and or any thoughts on all of this or want to share some of your favorite bird stories.

I’m leaving here having even more curiosity for both the Snail Kites and Limpkins.

Bird of the day!!

Back when the Osprey that were living in the middle of a parking lot by the beach had a lot of babies. They were at capacity for this nest. I believe they had 3. The two on the left and one on the right are the Juveniles with the more orangish eyes and one of the parents is the one standing more towards the front with the yellowish eyes.
