    Taken at the Martin Luther King Jr. Regional Shoreline at about 13m. Male pestering a female for amore. He did finally get what he was after later in the morning. ;)

    Common Gallinule

    Taken at the Shadow Cliffs Regional Recreation Area (Lake Boris). Don't know what it is about local Rallidaes, but like the American Coots, I find the Common Gallinules fascinating to look at.

    Taken at the Shadow Cliffs Regional Recreation Area (Lake Boris) at about 20m. Spring is in the air for these two, though I'm guessing she didn't appreciate being forcibly dunked!

    Taken at the Shadow Cliffs Regional Recreation Area (Lake Boris) at about 13m. We watched a pair of these rails/moorhens follow each other around, make food offerings, and eventually mate. Caught this one "afterwards" swimming alone.

    Taken at the Shadow Cliffs Regional Recreation Area (Lake Boris) at about 16m. These were interesting looking birds, had no idea what they were. As it turns out they are relatives of coots, which we also find interesting. :) This one was busy building a nest it seems and we watched it cross...
