Gallinule

Louisiana

I came upon a pair of gallinules with newly hatched chicks. This one was trying to draw me away from the nest while the other parent took them into the high grass.

I noticed a lot of gallinules here this year. Clever how they protect the youngsters from us. :) Nice shot with great color.
