Putting the limp in Limpkin[edit]
According to the article They walk slowly with a gait described as "slightly undulating" and "giving the impression of lameness or limping",[11] "high-stepping",[8] or "strolling" but according to Birds of North America, “Limp,” from which name is popularly claimed to have originated, certainly not typical behavior and never seen by some long-term observers (Ingalls 1972, DCB).. I'll check HBW tomorrow, but this is a somewhat puzzling discrepancy. Sabine's Sunbird talk 05:09, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
Are there any good sources that link the Argentine myth to the limpkin beyond just the name? Sabine's Sunbird talk 18:17, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
Pumpkin also live in Texas[edit]
Today I found an injured limpkin bird in front of target store in Lake Worth, Texas he had a broken leg and wing. Looked like his tail was broken too. I think he may have been waiting to die, because he didn't seem to care when it got extremely close to him. I really felt bad for him. I dont know how I could help him.. Anyway,now you know they're in texas too 47.4.61.130 (talk) 04:45, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

(Bolding mine.) How do you claim this reference reflects saying it is extirpated from these places that I've bolded? - UtherSRG (talk) 21:43, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
