What a pretty picture! It took me a few minutes to identify them, but according to the Audubon Field Guide, they are what is known as the Common Gallinule. Here is the link: http://www.audubon.org/field-guide/bird/common-gallinule
He looks a wee bit strange Lowell, he has the head of a Coot and the body of a duck.. so this is what a Florida Duck looks like! Super capture of these two!
Beautiful ducks, and very different from what we see here.

ReplyDeleteCool looking ducks. They don't look like any I've seen around here.
