| The Purple Gallinule (Porphyrula martinica) occurs in fresh water marshes in the southeastern United States and parts of Mexico. Its extremely long toes allow it to walk across floating vegetation with ease. The first photo here shows a Purple Gallinule in Kenedy Co., Texas, in June 2000. It was photographed with a Canon EOS 3 and EF 600mm F/4 L lens with a 1.4X extender on Fuji Velvia. The next shot was taken at Anahuac N.W.R., Chambers Co., Texas, in April, 1999, with a Canon EOS 1N and the same lens and film as above. |
