    'Alae 'Ula

    Like the Ae'o, the 'Alae 'Ula (Hawaiian Gallinule) is classified as a local sub-species, in this instance of the Common Gallinule found in North America. And like the Ae'o I posted the other day, this thoroughly braceleted one was clearly being tracked and studied by the docents of the Hamakua...

    Common Gallinule

    Rather shy and reclusive, this is the North America subspecies "G. g. cachinnans" which is characterized by its more extensive brown back including wing coverts as seen here. This is an adult showing the bright red frontal shield and bill with a yellow tip. This species was recently split from...

    Southern Florida

    I'm in Southern Florida at the moment, and I've seen several new species: Commom Gallinule, Purple Gallinule, Limpkin, Anhinga. But I took a boat tour into the Everglades. We saw some alligators, but not many. The visitors behind me were annoyed and asked things like, "Isn't there anything they...

    I think this is a juvenile Common Gallinule. Could be a young guy, though. I think the sexes are similar in plumage.

    I have found that more commonly you can hear these rustling in the reeds and just get glimpses of movement. Therefore, if you are lucky you might get a glimpse like this.

    A common gallinule. It was a somewhat skittish bird and would always walk into the reeds on approach. It was a good 40 yrds away in this photo.
