Three photos of the Purple Gallinule from 5/7 on my web-site:

My thanks to Dave Powell for finding this great bird!!   New MD photo species for me (#373).  I am showing my age,  but this was the first time I'd seen this species in Maryland since 1976, when a pair nested in a little wetland in Upper Marlboro. 



Good birding,
