The Common Gallinule was in the exact same spot when I first arrived both days. On a little dried up thicket of reeds on the outer edges of the reedy area in front of the daycare. Did bring food, chopped beef suet, canned salmon, chopped smelts and chopped baby spinach, as well as some mixed seed to distract the ducks. Vogel swam in briefly, got some food, then headed out to the rocky bank area to the far left of the daycare and past the reeds. It was foraging up along that bank and on the rocks. It's appearance in that type of area and the way it moved was so reminiscent of how the Common Moorhens in the UK foraged. Great memories! I have also noticed, that in the area of the outer reeds where I have initially spotted the Gallinule both Friday & today, that there is a small pile of fresh new (I believe) cattail shoots. There is also a muskrat nearby, so it might be the one that owns that cache of shoots. But the Gallinule seems to like that spot too. Also of note, were 3 male Red-winged Blackbirds, squaring off with each other, atop the cattail reeds, sounding like rusty door hinges & showing off their vivid red wing patches. Sincerely, Gayle MacLean Dartmouth ---2114655128-1576829216-1333290449=:9100 Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii <html><body><div style="color:#000; background-color:#fff; font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:12pt"><div><span>My compliments Gayle on all your interesting posts</span></div><div><span>on Vogel.
