Common Moorhen...

Last day of birds for this week, I promise. Of course it is my last post until Monday, but still the last bird for the week. Today's bird is the common moorhen to learn more about this species follow this link http://www.birds.cornell.edu/AllAboutBirds/BirdGuide/Common_Moorhen.html. Like many of the others bird photos recently this was taken at Viera Wetlands.

Now I see where the term "odd duck" came from. Something tells me this bird is bad news if it's cornered.

Moorhen eh....I haven't ever seen one of these. Yesterday I saw Canadian Geese heading north in a V. Perhaps that is a sign that spring is around the corner here in Illinios. Happy Sky Watch Friday.

When one is visiting wetlands in Florida common certainly applies to these beautifully marked birds.

Good sharp shot Brad.

I had never heard of these, at least not that I can remember. Think I will check out your link to more about them.
