What’s this?

 

 


 

A common gallinule.


 

Previously known as moorhen.  It’s a constant process updating names.  Years ago, we were in Arizona at the Colorado River and I saw some common nighthawks circling in the evening light.  I commented on them and the local person with me said “Those are called Riverhawks.”  Same bird.  Two different names.  It’s a process.
