After originally detecting the call of the Common Gallinule several weeks
ago, Kent Land Trust Intern Danni S. finally spotted the elusive bird this
morning swimming amongst the marsh vegetation in KLT’s Skiff Mountain
South Preserve.
Danni used her binoculars and cell phone to quickly
capture a few images before it disappeared back into the marsh!

I have seen the photos. She will add them to her eBird list later tonight.
