My Field Guide to North American Birds lists the Gallinules, but it's not pictured. It
must be fairly obscure. Simply identified under "Bird Families" in the same
paragraph with Rails and Coots.
Therefore, I gladly accept Ann's word that it's a Purple Gallinule.
Rare catch!
Welcome -Z!

Mine and a host of others.... He's in my National Geo bird guide - not
terribly rare, I didn't think but
a narrow range in US - but I've only seen them in aviaries, actually
(I stay clear of FLorida)

- a bird i
shot while walking around
wakodahatchee wetlands in florida a few weeks
ago...
It's not a cormorant.
That's about the extent of my bird
expertise. :-)
Yep. It.s a duck.
...and it's not some pretty thing in a bikini. Which
exhausts my bird
photography knowledge.
Easy to find. It's in Florida, so Google "Wading Birds of
Florida"
http://www.birds-of-north-america.net/wading-birds.html
click link for "marsh birds"
click links for "pictures of marsh birds of North America"
Not Bitterns, not American Coot, not Cranes ...
Purple Gallinule
... and whattaya know?
They're all from Wakodahatchee Wetlands in Florida,
Kool! Very distinctive. Good catch.
BTW - Cormorants are under seabirds.
