Description
We spotted this Purple Gallinule in the marshes alongside the Sierpe River in Southwest Costa Rica. They are also known as the yellow-legged gallinule. An adult purple gallinule has purple-blue plumage that will shine green and turquoise when in good lighting. Adults also have a pale blue shield on their forehead, which connects with the red and yellow bill. They have have long legs with long toes that help them walk onto of the floating vegetation, by distributing their weight.
