Here is another photo I shot earlier this month of a Common Moorhen at the fantastic Viera Wetlands in Florida.
Thanks so much for stopping by, Rob

Beautiful pic, I love reflection shots with birds, and the water affect. Your Common Moorhean looks just like our Dusky Moorhen except for the white beak tip. The Dusky has a bright yellow tip. I have pics and video in my current blog of the Dusky feeding its new chicks.

Thank you! I shot this in the middle of the day, not my favorite time due to the sun’s location, but I tried to make the best of the light by highlighting the reflection.

Your Common Moorhen looks identical to our Dusky Moorhen, except yours has a white beak tip and ours a bright yellow. I have some Duskies feeding their new chicks in my recent blog, in video and pics. Thanks again for your beautiful pics!

Great shot, Rob! I have never seen this bird before! I chuckled to myself when I noted the name, “Common Moorhen”; clearly, it is anything but common to me! *grin* Cher xo
