Observation details
Purple gallinules had a good year in the Headquarters pond. We counted several times to be certain of our numbers. We are confident that the counts of juvenile and immature birds are underestimated. Adult birds were easily seen all the way across the pond, but could only see chicks that were within 75 yards of the observation deck. These chicks were in 4 sets of 3. We believe there had to be more juveniles hidden from view beyond the 75 yards.
