Sunday, April 26th, 2026 at 11:08:20 PM · 2026/Yolo Bypass Wetlands
A dark-plumaged Common Gallinule (Moorhen) is captured mid-step on fallen reeds in shallow, reflective water. The bird's distinctive orange-yellow bill is prominent as it forages through the marshy habitat. The scene shows typical wetland vegetation with scattered dried reeds and grasses both in and above the water. The lighting suggests late afternoon or early morning, creating a peaceful, natural atmosphere in what appears to be a managed wetland environment.
