Tightrope walker February 8, 2017 · by Birder's Journey I’ve written many posts about the Purple Gallinule, but just couldn’t resist adding one more. ☺️ Have a beautiful day~!! Share this:TwitterFacebookPinterestLike this:Like Loading...
Yes! We have Purple Swamphens, too, though they are non-natives. Less elegant and graceful than the Gallinule, but very similar coloring. Reply
Yes, I recall when I first discovered them and thought they were so elusive. Now we’re blessed to see them a lot! Reply
We’re fortunate that they like our wetlands so much, but I agree, Pam – it’s always a treat to see them! Reply
I’ll miss birding and taking photos this year. The condo I was renting is being sold. Looking for another condo or mobile home for 2018. Thank you for sharing you fabulous photos. Connie Reply
Looks very similar to our Purple Swamphen

Gorgeous shots of a bird some overlook.

Beautiful bird. Great shots📸
These are probably the birds I’ve posted most about! 😉
Excellent shots Carol! You’re going to put me out of business! 🙂
Haha!! Not at all likely, HJ
Fantastic! Always love seeing them!

I always see them from a distance and not very often. 🙂
