Great egret finds his breakfast, and a limp kin deshells a mussel. Both images captured in the Naples area with a Nikon Z8 and 180-600 lens.

Nice! I'm told that Limpkins only eat Apple Snails. Based on my own photos of them, I don't buy it!

Thank you all for looking and your appreciative comments. While limpkins prefer apple snails, they will eat other snails and definitely fresh water mussels. I saw and photographed the mussel that supplied the meat in this photo. They also eat a relatively small amount of other things.
