I mean.. all these pond-dwelling birds do have some habitual things in common right? What started off a simple prompt seems to have taken wings and flown into a nice wee topic.

Pretty little moorhen, in amongst the iris and forsythia flowers. Bright, sunshine yellow and iris-blue colours to make you think of spring and summer. Intricate hand drawn detail, with the final artwork created digitally.

Common Gallinule at Edge of Water by Debra Martz It's not often that I see the full length of the colorful legs and feet of the Galinule (Gallinula galeata) so I was quite pleased as this one posed on the outer edge of the water. I, also, liked the patterns made by the movement of the brackish marsh water at Leaonabelle Birding Center of Port Aransas, Texas. This was taken from the new boardwalk that runs in a different direction from the one that was destroyed by Hurricane Harvey. ©Debra Martz In My Gallery/Collection "Feathered Friends" 20190514-DSC_0922

And today was no different as it seemed even more bright in the beautiful sunlight.

A common moorhen runs off to who knows where.

I have drawn the coot many times, I like its drop-shaped body an white knob on the forehead very much. The color of its feet is always a puzzle, it can vary from blue to grey to yellow.
