| The limpkin is a singular inhabitant of the more retired Florida swamps. |
| Cranes raise up a pile of vegetation in open shallow water, and the limpkin builds a concealed nest in dense marsh grasses. |
| The limpkin has a more specialized diet, consisting chiefly of certain large snails, which are broken open at certain favourite feeding stations that contain telltale piles of broken shells. |
| I sometimes see a limpkin, sometimes a pair, hanging out at the retention pond down the street. |
| Its curved bill bits perfectly into a snail shell, allowing the limpkin to deftly extract the mollusk. |
| Rails have a very characteristic walk in which the tail is flicked up with each step, and both the limpkin and the kagu share this tail-flicking action. |
