Observation details
Mostly on the east side of the island (not visible from road). Seems to be eating very well here - I saw it catch, open, and eat 5+ large mussels in a relatively short period of time. After eating, climbed up into a tree to rest. Approaching the Limpkin was tricky, even by kayak. For most of these shots, I was halfway in and halfway out of my kayak, using my feet to walk around while laying on my stomach on the kayak to keep a low profile. I placed a tripod in the shallow water to take videos. Video of the Limpkin eating: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqJo3AvFh3A
