Observation details

Pics and audio tba. Large brown bird with white speckles concentrated on neck/head, decurved pale orangey bill ending in dark tip. Unmistakable. Was hoping to find one and played for them a bit, at one point thought I had a very distant response but could have been an echo. Walking back down the levee, thinking about how I’d failed to find a Limpkin, one jumped up into a cypress and called repeatedly! Bird was about 200 yards north of the open levee gate near the school, at (29.741088, -90.126018). Looks to be the first parish record, on eBird at least
