    Just wanted to say that I enjoyed reading about this bird, it still amazes me how many types of birds exsist all over the world, even discovering how many are just in my own back yard. Thanks for this lens

    I have not seen these birds in America but I did see very sharp blue coloured birds like this in Ethiopia. They were flocking after a farmer and his plow.

    What a clever way to get people to check out your lenses! I wondered if it was anything like a one-eyed, one-horned, flying purple people eater ...

    I love birds and have several feeders, though a purple gallinule isn't likely to stop in for a bite in Los Angeles. Thanks for another delightful and informative lens!
