Female feeding a chick

Carrying an apple snail

In the first part it walks on the floating vegetation just like the jacana. When eating the apple snail we can see the gallinule does not tear off the fleshy part and eats it like the limpkin does. The snail stays inside and pecks at it bit by bit.

Very exposed either by the wall or across the pond it was on the alert for a morsel. It is to be noted the smooth swinging of the neck sideways, typical movement also observed in the whistling heron when hunting. 

First family of the season. They were very well hidden because they are not newly born

Teresa and Fabián tells us that this female was motionless on the ground by the road. Fabián stayed with her while Teresa went to Viamonte for help. They came immediately to pick it up. One of the girls hidrated the nightjar and said it had to be in shock. We hope it has recovered.
