Observation details
Possibly same bird as seen by Chris Barrigar a few days ago. Very brightly colored gallinule, green, purple and blue blended together. bright orange bill with yellow tip and a pale blue shield on the forehead. bird was observed in flight (no white in wings) and at rest. Bright yellow legs clearly seen in flight. Poor photos attached. Bird vocalized frequently giving it's kik call, it also made a purring noise, almost like a cat. If it was giving its typical call as described on the Sibleys app, it was leaving off the last 2 "chicken-like" notes and I could not tell it from the Common Gallinule.
