#BirdOfTheDay theme for today is #GreyDay. A #GrayHeadedSwampHen patrols the wetlands in Florida. #birds #swamphen #wetlands #gallinule.

@robcrank68.bsky.social has set today’s #BirdOfTheMonth theme as #FavouriteOfTheMonth. Favorites are hard for me, but I’m going with this #GrayHeadedSwamphen with its horror movie poster claw. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

The #BirdOfTheDay prompt set by @robcrank68.bsky.social is #paddling. Here is a #GrayHeadedSwamphen in barely enough water to paddle. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

Three new birds for me today at Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive: Gray-headed Swamphen, Painted Bunting, and Fulvous Whistling-Ducks

Gray-headed Swamphen in Florida. They are larger than Purple Gallinules with orange-red legs & red forehead shield, heavy red bill. Purple Gallinules have yellow legs & bluish forehead shield, thinner yellow-tipped bill. #grayheadedswamphen #birdwatching #birds #wildlife
