©Delores J. Knowles 2008 -- The Common Gallinule (Gallinula chloropus), a chicken-like marsh bird, commonly called a moorhen lives in freshwater marshes and can be found in just about every country except Australia and Antarctica. It’s closely related to the rails and coots. It loves lily pad covered water and uses those large, long, thin toes to walk on top of the pads while it feeds on insects, seeds, and water grasses. This little bird is not swimming but is sitting on the leaf of a lily pad which is now covered by water. Photographed in Lake County, Florida.
