Not a great shot of the Gallinule, but good enough for ID I think!

Those babies are so fluffy and adorable! Isn't it odd how they nest on the ground out in the open? I saw a pair nesting at my son's school and often watched as the students ran outside during P.E., near the nest, and hoped the birds would be safe. Love the sandpiper too.
