My video of tonight's Full Snow Moon.
Sorry if it's bouncy. Just know that the BEST part is my Common Gallinule friends expressing what I feel is their deep appreciation of the moon, each other & just being alive.

A Common Gallinule (The Bird Formerly Known as Moorhen) observing a Tri-Colored Heron fishing in the lake.

I love to watch birds watching other birds. The Moorhens like to check out the birds on what I'm pretty sure they consider THEIR lake.

I've seen many Common Gallinules examine their feet & wondered if they thought they were too big. But once I saw how they use them to forage and grip, I realized they're likely just in awe of their giant magic feet!
