This morning I birded for only an hour while I was looking around Martin Dies Jr. State Park. I was surprised to see a Purple Gallinule. I had birded here on June 22nd thought I might have seen one mentioned it in park headquarters and was told that most probably wasn't as one had never been seen here before. So when I got ID photos of one today I thought I should most probably mention it was here. If it is normal for here just forget I posted this.
