Limpkin Family Viera Wetlands

I was lucky enough to spend about an hour with this Limpkin Family, two adults and four chicks. I had them to my self through this photo session, the adults were retrieving an endless amount of snails and mussels the entire time. Very fortunate moment in the mud photographing these little guys. One looked like it was attack by some predator, adults were still caring for the chick.
