| A limpkin (Aramus guarauna) is seen in shallow water, holding a snail in its long, curved beak. The bird has a brown body with white streaks and is partially submerged. The setting includes green, reflective water with scattered vegetation, suggesting a marsh or wetland environment. Limpkins are known for feeding on apple snails, using their specialized beaks to extract the snails from their shells. This behavior is typical in the southeastern United States and parts of Central and South America. |
