For day three of Prince week we have the purple gallinule. The purple gallinule is a swamp hen in the rail family. They breed along the southeastern United States and tropical regions of Central America, the Caribbean, and northern South America. I captured this one on a walk along Anhinga Trail in Everglades National Park in Florida. Nikon D700 with Nikkor 70-200mm lens (at 200mm) ISO 320, f/4.5 at 1/400th of a second

Looks more royal blue, fading into aquamarine, than purple.
I don’t name them Louis, I merely take the photos.
Colorful!
Tastefully flamboyant, just like Prince. Perfect choice!
You know how I feel about your love of birds. This one is beautiful but I prefer your real wildlife and maybe a frog or two!!
Beautiful shot from one of the best birding trails in America.
