I’m pretty sure that this is a moorhen. The photo was taken on St. Patrick’s day, doesn’t it look nice and sunny! Usually we get rain for the parade. Don’t forget to click through for the big version

Yeah, I’m going to second the diagnosis – sure looks like a moorhen to me.
well, you could tell me its a chicken and i’d be none the wiser. although, we do have moorhens down by our canal and they look a bit different… are there different kinds of moorhens?
I’m right there with JP! :) I’m not sure I’ve ever heard of or seen one of these, but it is very cool looking.
