Description
Moorhens — sometimes called marsh hens — are medium-sized water birds that are members of the rail family (Rallidae). They are close relatives of coots, and because of their apparently nervous behavior (frequently twitching tail, neck and grinding their backs) are sometimes called "Nervous Fred". Moorhens are blackish with a red and yellow beak and long, green legs. Seen closer-up, they have a dark brown back and wings and a more bluish-black belly, with white stripes on the flanks.
This photo was taken near Orlando, Florida.
