Added another photo I found from that sighting, when his momma bird was feeding him (I call it kissy face...lol).

That was my favorite sighting EVER at Green Cay!

Really adorable, he looks like he is ready for a big adventure.

His feathers almost look like a baby ducks, all soft and furry. I guess I've never seen Gallinule babies!
