Pretty Bird -Purple Gallinule (Porphyrio martinica)

This Pretty Bird is the Purple Gallinule (Porphyrio martinica). “A beautifully colored bird of southern and tropical wetlands, the Purple Gallinule can be see walking on top of floating vegetation or clambering through dense shrubs. Its extremely long toes help it walk on lily pads without sinking.” – allaboutbirds.org .This one I found in the Celery Fields in Sarasota Florida. I have been coming to Sarasota for thirty years and this was the first time I went here – boy am I stupid!!!!
