Purple Gallinule
I was photographing egrets and spoonbills at the Audubon rookery on High Island when my wife looked down below the blind and saw this purple gallinule at the edge of the pond. Purple gallinules are a type of swamphen. They spend much of the year in Central and South America, but they breedr along the Gulf Coast of the U.S. and Mexico.br/br/Date: 19 April 2019br/Location: High Island, Texas, United Statesbr/Original resolution: 20 MPbr/Processing: Processed from RAW using Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic 10
