This gallinule is a striking bird, big, brightly colored, and noisy. With its strong legs and long toes, it runs about on open shorelines, walks on floating lily pads, and clambers through marshes and waterside trees, flicking its short tail nervously. Nods its head as it swims; it flies short distances with its legs dangling conspicuously. Found mainly in the Southeast and the tropics, but single birds sometimes stray far to the north at any season.
