Gallinula Galeata
By this time of day, the light was getting harsh, didn't make for the best shots. It was just cool to see the family growing and feeding right in front of us.

Image taken from a photo boat in the Danube Delta, Romania. Up at 4am every day on this trip but well worth it.
Many thanks to everyone that views and comments on my images - very much appreciated.
What a striking bird was this Common Loon! I was able to get this image (which is cropped from the original) using an 800 mm lens while floating unobtrusively on a small lake near Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

I've never been able to capture so clear a photo of a Common Merganser before. She was most cooperative. A couple more to come.
Thanks for Viewing.
Interesting Fact: During the long Arctic night, Redpolls are known to sleep in snow tunnels to preserve body heat.

This colourful bird is not very common in Brandenburg - at least I had not seen him before. Another unexpected encounter this summer.
It's always nice to see these mergansers when I'm in Anchorage but they don't get too close. I hope to see the males as well but haven't yet. I love their serrated bill, definitely designed to grab onto something and not let go!

Although this wasn't a life bird for me it still presented me with an irresistible photography opportunity that I couldn't pass up. This was the first time that I'd ever seen one of these unique birds perched before. I photographed this bird on a fencepost in Pawnee National Grassland in Colorado. They have no trees to perch in there so they have to settle for fence posts instead.
279) Common Moorhen
Common Moorhen, Swamp Chicken, Gallinula chloropus, Tiong Air
The common moorhen lives around well-vegetated marshes, ponds, canals and other wetlands. They gives a wide range of gargling calls and will emit loud hisses when threatened. This species will consume a wide variety of vegetable material and small aquatic creatures. They forage beside or in the water, sometimes walking on lilypads or upending in the water to feed. They are often secretive, but can become tame in some areas. Despite loss of habitat in parts of its range, the common moorhen remains plentiful and widespread.
