Limpkin
Species: Limpkin
Photographer: J. Whitfield Gibbons
Date: 30 April 2020
Location: 3 miles north of Salley, Orangeburg, SC
This photo was taken 3 miles north of Salley, in Orangeburg County, by my colleague Whit Gibbons. It’s from a wildlife camera and this is the second year in a row he’s had at least one Limpkin on the property. In addition to being a cool species and a great photo, I find the habitat amazing for a Limpkin—this is just a small swamp with a permanent stream, like any one of a thousand streams and swamps in SC just like this one. Makes me wonder how many Limpkins there might be out there that we don’t see. To my knowledge,
