Clap on...clap off. Hmmmm. It's not doing anything. LOL. This is a bird I am not familiar with at all. It has pretty marking, especially the blue on the head. Very nice capture and presentation, Elizabeth.

I too know nothing of this bird and thank you for bringing it into my world. The blue head feathers are great.

Wonderful, Elizabeth. So close. There is no doubt from these images that you post that you know your indigenous birds.

We just call them Marsh Hens here E.

They make a very tasty spaghetti.
Thanks for sharing.

A good closeup capture of the marsh hen, Elizabeth. It's hard to get one of these to sit still to get a shot. Nice work.

Very nice capture...I don't see anything like this where I am. Interesting to see how many different species are out there.

It appears you were very successful in your hunting attempt Elizabeth. I like how you captured the other hunter. I have never seen one of these either.

Well done to get such a good shot of this bird! They really don't like to pose for their portraits...
