Epic Limpkin Chase - Perilous Kayak Birding Journey!

When a first state record Limpkin shows up nearby on the Grand River in Spring Lake, Michigan, an EPIC bird chase ensues! Join Curtis on this journey to a “by boat only” birding location involving a sinking kayak, wrong turn with knee deep mud and a bird that likes to remain hidden in the marsh. Will the journey be worth all the perilous effort? Watch and find out!

What kind of work do you do that you could take the day off?

Haha! Great question! I am a Naturalist at a local Nature Center so my boss is understanding about chasing local rare birds when it doesn’t interfere with programming, meetings, etc. I did make up my lost hours though!
