A small creek that drains into Lake Parker provided Chad & I some outstanding reflection shots. Many birds were feeding in its calm waters including this Limpkin. The Limpkin is a goose sized wading bird. It spent most of its time with its head underwater searching for food.
Many of the birds we observed at Lake Parker will be arriving in Pennsylvania in the coming weeks but some, like this Limpkin, will never venture north.
