Patiently Waiting

Common Gallinules eat vegetation, seeds, snails, and insects. They pick sedge, grass, pondweed, duckweed, and flower seeds (shown here) from the water surface or just below the surface.

 

Just after this was taken, we saw this Hen protecting her little ones from the rainstorm that came through. They all huddled underneath her while she spread her wings to shield them.

 

They were just so ugly and cute at the same time......

Look at those little forming wings with spurs....

 

Thanks for taking a look.

Have a great Tuesday !
