I have to say that it felt great to get out after several days of not feeling well and being stuck inside recuperating. Kyle Dudgeon joined me this afternoon and we headed out to the Bashakill Wildlife Management Area to try for the Common Gallinules that John Haas had posted about\u00a0in his blog<\/a> earlier in the week. We went directly to Haven Road, which is still flooded. We walked slowly through the water and over the bridge before we saw our first family of Common Gallinules, which consisted of one adult and 3 chicks. Fortunately, they were not too\u00a0far out for photos, although the vegetation did make focusing on the birds a little bit difficult. It was super to get such a good look and photos of \u00a0these birds, which are typically much tougher than this to locate. And, it\u00a0was Kyle’s lifer COGA, so that was exciting too.\u00a0There was an additional 6 Common Gallinules in open water out in the distance, and I could hear other COGAs in at least two other locations. Huge thanks to John for posting – what a great birding opportunity.<\/p>\n
