“Limpkin Jam”

“Limpkin Jam” - November 9, 2023

Judy Royal Glenn Photography

 

The Great Smoky Mountains National Park scored a touchdown when a Limpkin showed up in Cades Cove a few weeks ago. The bird’s presence was the first ever recorded in the GSMNP. What a thrill it was to see this little fellow!

 

He is way off course as he should be in Coastal Georgia, Florida, Mexico, Central and South America, and the islands heading to South America. 

 

I caused a “Limpkin Jam” as I photographed him. Of course, I was telling others about him—they were excited to see him, too. 

 

If you aren’t familiar with the term “bear jam,” it is when tons of people are looking at the bears. It backs up traffic, causing it to jam. So, this little one caused a “Limpkin Jam.”


What is one of the Limpkin's favorite delicacies? Snails. He found an abundance!
