Limpkins have a long bill that is bent and twisted at the tip, an adaptation for removing snails from the shell. Limpkins are tropical wetland birds whose range reaches into Florida. They specialize in eating apple snails, which they hunt both day and night, and they often leave telltale piles of snail shells at the edges of freshwater wetlands where hunting is good. This bird’s haunting cries, heard mostly at night, are otherworldly and unforgettable. Green Cay Florida.

I have posted a few images of these great birds. Farmers love them here in Louisiana because they feed on the destructive Apple Snails as you mentioned. Nice image.
Beautiful image and bird Bill
Wow. Would love to hear. Thanks for description
