Wow! Just think.....How many times a day would she have to do that if she's feeding babies. Nice video!

What a treat to have a moment in my day to reflect on this natural scene... a single snap shot is certainly "useful" and can be "pretty" ... but this action video allows us to be present for a moment in Limpkin life and to muse on what it means to be a bird of this type... thanks to Barbara Bowen for sharing her video with us...
