  • Limpkins have been showing up far out of their range to the delight of birders throughout the United States. When one showed up in Milwaukee I made the trip to see if I could find it.

    We had one in western Upstate NY late last year, a state 1st record. Happily feeding on snails when I saw it. It was subsequently captured by a wildlife rehabber just before a major snowstorm hit & transported to the Carolinas and released. Very cool bird! Glad one showed up in your state!

    My favorite is the Limpkin as it was always a Florida bird prior to recently. To have seen that bird in Wisconsin is unreal! Good job as always man.

    A limpkin showed up a few weeks ago just outside of Richmond, Virginia. It has been feasting on freshwater mussels and hanging out at a nearby lake. Naturally, all the local birders turned out with their cameras and binoculars.

    Late last year I was able to see one in my hometown of Lewiston, NY. It seems to have been feeding on Cepaea snail species (which are not native). It was ultimately captured and removed to Florida. That said, I'm sure you get them at times, but if you are desperate to see Little Gull, Lewiston is perhaps the best place on the continent for that species.

  • @fsocs369

    How amazing! I've seen them at the St. Marks River in Florida ages ago. We took a boat down the river and were rewarded with several. I'd be more than a little excited to see one here in CA...Dream BIG. I'm so happy to see them traveling.

    Here in central Florida, we take Limpkins for granted. Most lake and river banks are littered with apple snail remains too.

  • @J_LorraineK
    @J_LorraineK 10 месяцев назад +6

    Very neat, great sightings. Do you think it's a good thing for birds like the Limpkin to be moving so far north, or is it a bad sign?

    • @BadgerlandBirding
      @BadgerlandBirding  10 месяцев назад +3

      I think it’s just situational. Their food is moving so they are as well. I do hope they leave before winter. I doubt they would fair too well in the cold but it’s hard to say!

    Derek as you saw this limpkin was it eating a apple snail as far as my favorite bird it's got to be the downy woodpecker .

    • @BadgerlandBirding
      @BadgerlandBirding  10 месяцев назад +1

      As far as I know the Apple Snails haven’t made it to WI, but we do have other large invasive snails such as the Chinese Mystery Snail. And the Downy is adorable!

    Glad you had the chance to see it, Derek. I wen't looking for it in that exact spot on Monday, September 11th, but had no luck. I believe I heard it had moved over to the Wehr Nature Center, and now I see people have been reporting one in Waupaca. I also tried seeing it when it was at Horicon a couple months back, but again, no luck. I wonder how many were actually in the state vs the same couple moving around from county to county? Thanks for sharing your experience!

    • @BadgerlandBirding

    I’ve heard stories about those birds from Florida. Supposedly their call has made some people think that a person was being attacked. Never seen a limpkin before but I think it’s interesting that they have come this far north. I’m from Michigan my self. Michigan is a great state for birding. Have you guys ever thought about taking a trip to Seney looking for the yellow rail? That would be a cool video

    They’re being photographed regularly in Arkansas. From what I understand the climate has allowed the species to expand it’s range within in the past decade.

    • @BadgerlandBirding
      @BadgerlandBirding  10 месяцев назад

      It’s the movement and range expansion of their food source as opposed to climate that’s allowed them to expand

    Perhaps you should contact a local bird rehab agency so the Limpkin can be captured and returned to the Southern U.S. before Winter.

    • @BadgerlandBirding
      @BadgerlandBirding  10 месяцев назад

      It’s actually been a trend in recent years that they come up here in summer and late fall then leave before winter. Hopefully they end up in a warmer climate!

      Only those who accept Jesus as their Savior will make it to heaven. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life, no man [or woman] comes unto the Father [in heaven] but by me." Jesus is the only way to heaven because he is the only one who has ever been on this earth who was perfect and holy and laid down his own life willingly for the sins of the entire world! This was necessary because we are all sinners since the fall of Adam and Eve (take a look at the Ten Commandments and see how many you've broken), and God CANNOT be in the presence of sin. So, Jesus paid the price for our sin debt through His torturous death and all we have to do to be completely ASSURED of going to heaven is to recognize that we are a sinner and accept Jesus and what He did for us in our hearts. Then we are saved and sealed for heaven no matter what! What a gift indeed!
      The rapture of believers is going to happen very, very soon, when we will go to meet Jesus in the clouds (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17) and be with Him forever! Do not believe the lies they will tell you that we were abducted by aliens or some other nonsense! The rapture is God's rescue plan to save believers from the soon coming 7 year tribulation- the most terrible time ever on the earth where billions will die. (READ REVELATION chapters 6-19 to learn the truth).
      Please don't wait to accept Jesus! You do NOT want to be left behind! He loves you so much He died for you and would have died for you if you were the only person on earth!
