St. Albert - this Moorhen family (renamed Common Gallinule) had 6 chicks. At one point it grew to 10 when another female asked this one to mind the kids while she went shopping for lunch :)

Rallus limicola

Canada (Ontario)

Date taken: Jun 7 2014

Details: immature

This photo is a little blurry but it shows a very special encounter: away from any water a whole family of Virginia Rails (one adult and 4 chicks) crossed our road out of the blue! This was stayed behind nd wasn't sure whether to cross or not... it eventually did and joined all the others!

Guillemot/Common Murre (6)

Uria aalge

cotinga

United States (Alaska)

Date taken: Aug 14 2010

Details: male, adult, summer plummage

After the 1964 earthquake moved the entire island up by five metres, exposing a large strip of land, the murre cliffs became several hundred metres from the ocean. The young birds--which fledge at a quarter of adult weight--then needed to run the gauntlet of glaucous-winged gulls to get to the sea. Here, a family group pauses at a pond on their way to the sea.

Haematopus ostralegus

United Kingdom (England)

Date taken: Jun 18 2013

fallow field at Drummersdale House Farm, Scarisbrick, Lancashire. I was driving down a lane on what has been the family farm for over 200 years, when a whitish blur swept past the windscreen. I only had a short lens with me, so the resolution is poor on this surprising visitor.
