Common Gallinule - a photo on Flickriver

Common Gallinule

            Although this bird has 'Common' as part of it's name, it's not common for me, in fact, it's another new bird for me! 

I captured this Common Gallinule while visiting Guajome Lake Regional Park. While surveying the numerous coots and other birds responding to being fed by park visitors, I spied this single individual close to some reeds in the lake.  I managed to capture some images of it just before an American Coot decided it was too close and swam over and chased it away.
