margasib<p>If you like birds, watch this short video. <br>It takes the Limpkin a bit of time to settle down after carefully moving sticks, dead plants, and her eggs around the nest. She doesn't get it right immediately, but it eventually works out :) 🪶</p><p><a href="https://beta.argyle.social/tags/birding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>birding</span></a> <a href="https://beta.argyle.social/tags/nesting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nesting</span></a> <a href="https://beta.argyle.social/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>photography</span></a> <a href="https://beta.argyle.social/tags/FemaleBirds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FemaleBirds</span></a> <a href="https://beta.argyle.social/tags/Limpkin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Limpkin</span></a></p>
