James,
no I don't specifically do a lot of birding but we have so many here in Orlando that I've been forced to learn a bit about them. The Limpkin is pretty rare for me. I've only seen one other and that was down at Lake Toho in Kissimmee and when I posted a pic on this forum, nobody else could identify it either until I guessed about a Limpkin and Durwood Edwards confirmed it.

The proliferation of Herons and the multitude of different types has made me check my Wikipedia every time I come in from a wildlife shoot. I'm learning. Absolutely love the colors.

Jim
