Size - 26" : Large brown with white speckles.  The bill is slightly curved downward.

The Limpkin is a relatively hard bird to find.  It is found only here in Florida and perhaps Southern Georga.  It likes the wooded swamps and thick marshes.  Probably the best place to look for Limpkins in Charlotte County would be in Cecil Webb Wildlife Management Area or near Telegraph Swamp.
