Purple Gallinule; Calamón

Porphyrio porphyrio

Habitat:

Coastal marshes

Notes:

These are year-round residents but can often be difficult to see as they spend a lot of time inside the dense reed beds. When these die down in the winter and water levels are low they, and a lot of other species, can often be seen in the open, scurrying between clumps of reeds.
