13x19 inches, original watercolor, framed, protected with museum glass.
On a visit to Viera Wetlands in Florida, I was admiring the amazing hillside of blanket flowers along the shore, when a Limpkin silently appeared in their midst. I was both startled and delighted. A life bird for me. Limpkins are a specialist species with a de-curved bill that aids in their foraging on apple snails. Drab in color but amazing to watch. They pluck snails from the reeds and separate them from their shells with their special beak and tongue.
