Observation details
Found this morning by Joanne Priest. Finally seen by us after almost 2 hours of scoping. Compared to the Common Gallinules we had seen previously at the same distance, it had a dark-greenish rather than brownish back and lacked a white flank stripe. It emerged from the reeds/cattails toward the north end of the reed/cattail patch at the south end of the main island and remained in view for several minutes, pacing deliberately southward along the margin of the reeds and showing bright yellow legs, before fading back into the reeds at the south tip of the island. Poor phone-scoped photo attached (best of a bad lot) shows greenish hue but not much more.
