Description: "Common Gallinule Walking on Vegetation" I spotted this Common Gallinule while birdwatching from a boardwalk near South Padre Island's Convention Center. Its bright red face shield always reminds me of candy corn, but another distinctive feature is its yellow legs and remarkably long toes, perfectly adapted for walking across marsh vegetation.
