Purple Gallinule chicks commented on by James McNair Florida, USA6 years ago

Thanks Malcolm. I didn't realize the distance was that crucial, I figured it was within central Florida, but I have updated the location and will be more precise in future. I didn't actually see the adult Sora, I just know they are around. The other birds commonly found here are Common Gallinule and Purple Gallinule but the coloration of these two doesn't resemble either that I see every breeding season here.

Malcolm Christmas is actually on the Eastern side of Orange County about 30 minutes from the coast. I agree that the Sora isn't supposed to breed here but I have seen an adult with a very small chick a few years ago. This was taken today. Do you have any idea what they are?
