Common Moorhen Male photos by Larry Jordan
I was fortunate to find this male Common Moorhen moving slowly through a narrow waterway connecting two ponds at Lema Ranch the other day. As I followed it, the bird didn’t seem too interested in me and I soon found out why. He had a mate nearby.
I believe he had more important things on his mind.
After all it is Spring
And what better way to celebrate than a bit of afternoon delight?
And what’s better than a nice refreshing bath afterward
And off we go for a walk and a swim with my mate (I just wanted to show off my cool green feet).

Definitely springtime in the northern hemisphere! I really like the way you have caught the drops of water around the bird.

Larry : This is a beautiful series on the Moorhen. They have a darker blue plumage compared to their Indian cousins.
Woo Hoo, Larry! You captured the Moorhens at their most intimate moment. Spring is here!
