My fellow bird nerds will understand the breathless excitement I felt to turn a corner in the wetlands and witness this quiet scene! The secretive King Rail is a bird I’ve rarely been able to photograph, let alone film. How cool that my first chance to catch one on video was such a gorgeous and relaxed bird.

This little guy was so funny to watch. It flew out from the reeds and landed on some lily pads, and kept trying to walk on them and just kept sinking LOL.

Eurasian Coot, Perth WA.
Day 4 of Avian August 2025, Birds of Hawaii, hosted by @cookiedoves: ʻAlae keʻokeʻo or Hawaiian coot (Fulica alai)
The Hawaiian coot , is a unique waterbird found only in Hawaii. It looks a lot like its mainland relative, the American coot, but with a larger, bright white forehead shield, hence the name "keʻokeʻo," which means "white" in Hawaiian.
You’ll usually spot them paddling around in freshwater wetlands, or shallow ponds, either solo or in small, noisy groups. Their presence is often used as an indicator of healthy wetlands.
Even though they’re fairly adaptable, their populations are still considered endangered because of habitat loss, predators like mongooses and cats, and competition from invasive plants. *Plant featured is a native Hawaiian grass, Kākonakona (Panicum torridum)
