Sorry for the late post.
Yesterday, Saturday, December 10, at 2pm, there was a Common Gallinule on Coopers Neck Pond in Southampton. The bird appeared from the reeds in back of the pond, opposite and slightly to the left of the only place you can view the pond from. It swam to the middle of the pond, returned to the reeds and could not be found again after about 30 minutes of looking. A quick stop at 4pm also came up empty. Pictures are available.
