Purple Gallinule

Apr 18, 2004 at McAllen

We have officially designated this sighting as our four hundredth life bird. We were talking with a Canadian fellow who said he'd been birding for twenty years but had never seen a Purple Gallinule. Within seconds, Mary and another woman spotted the bird walking out from the reeds. In remained in the open for several minutes, so everybody could admire it in the scope.
