LD - close encounter with a limpkin (Aramus guarauna)

This limpkin seemed to feel confident that I wouldn't cross the fence. Not only that, but as you'll see on some later date, another walked up and passed right behind him. Diego saw the second one coming, but I wasn't fast enough at zooming out, so I only got a bit of the second one in the frame. For now, however, just the one quite close.
