Common Gallinule - a photo on Flickriver

Common Gallinule

            Common Gallinules are medium-sized marsh birds with long legs and toes. In profile, note the small head, thin neck, and small, thin bill. Swimming birds frequently hold their wings up, such that the wingtips stick up on the back.

Common Gallinules swim like a duck, pushing their head forward, and walk on top of marsh vegetation like the rail they are. When they walk they tend to crouch down and slowly flick their tail up revealing white undertail feathers. They often stay close to emergent marsh vegetation, but swim out in the open from time to time.

Common Gallinule and her chick in the Orlando Wet Land showing us this morning how mother protect her chicks. She was making all kind of sounds aimed at a nearby Great Blue Heron.
