Purple Gallinule: Orlando Wetlands Park, Christmas, Florida, USA, January 2024 — Certainly one of the primary target birds at Orlando Wetlands is the Purple Gallinule. I had to walk a long way to find one. 🙂 Worth it though. Check out that foot! It enables the bird to walk on the lily pads without sinking them as it hunts.

Barn Swallows: Howard Marsh, Beno, Ohio, USA, May 2024 — There is more to the Biggest Week in American Birding than Magee Marsh of course. This is from Howard Marsh, a metro-park development half way between Maumee Bay and Magee. Howard Marsh is always worth a visit while in the area. These two Barn Swallows were working on plumage on the same little twig. OM System OM-1Mkii with M.Zuiko 100-400IS at 800mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom bird modifications.
