Limpkin Rescued on Christmas Day

Dusty Showers catches a Limpkin with a broken wing after a two hour chase. He was in the swamp looking for Christmas day snakes…no snakes but he noticed the bird and it’s wing was hanging. The Limpkin put up quite a chase, at times he ran after it, then it would duck under the scrub. After 4 or 5 times as he was ready to give up, then the Limpkin would show up again. Finally, he decided to give up and got in his truck and started to head down the dirt road…and there he was. When he was chasing it, he knew his only hope was to stalk it enough until it got itself into a corner. As he was leaving, the Limpkin ducked into thick brush over the water. Dusty was finally able to get him as he got caught up with it…while a gator was watching 20 yards away in the same water!
