Observation details
Large wading bird, roughly ibis-shaped with long yellow-based decurved bill. Brown with large white triangular spots. Returned about an hour later; several of us watched it probing for and catching large freshwater mussels, carrying them to shore, and hammering them open. I had noticed mussel shells around the pond but couldn't find reference to limpkins eating anything but snails. Very exciting to see.
