Pretty funky hey? Tried to keep the text with this photo as short as possible in order to highlight the speed of the bird – no intention of being lazy here 🙂
Think I saw you wearing the same kind of feet while walking in the snow near Maligne Lake Road, Inger 😉 it’s about dividing your weight equally in order to prevent sinking too deep into a soft surface I guess?
Very “groovy” photo Maurice!

What an interesting bird – looks like something in between a peacock and a turkey! 🙂 Nice picture!
Thanks Inger – they are interesting birds indeed; always rushing on those long-toed feet that are designed to walk on floating reeds.
Yes, when you mention it the size of their feet are really amazing. Quite large compared to the rest of the bird.

Great captures!!! Really shows the size of those feet!
Thanks Matthew – those are pretty awesome!
We call ours purple gallinule. Always a treat!
