Bigfoot

The Purple Gallinule is one of the most beautiful birds in SW Florida. They are usually very shy running out of the underbrush to grab a seed pod and disappearing. This guy put on quite a show yesterday in Shark Valley. The huge yellow feet are well adapted to allow them to walk across Brasenia shreberi (native water Lilies) and reeds. They are vegetarians.
