Opinions on moorehens? I often see them when I birdwatch..
I can't find anything about moorehens but i know what moorhens are, we have birds related to them where i live and i think they're cool.
rails in general are pretty cool birds, love waterfowl.

What's going on at Kingfisher Creek?
Brisbane City Council has stuffed up again. This time with the redevelopment of the Kingfisher Creek near the Gabba. Pacific area I’m talking about is Moorehen Flats which runs along Kingfisher Creek. Council has asked Wolter surveyors to map an area slated for redevelopment including trees bikeways, pedestrian pathways but they’ve left out the most important part: where all of these converge…

The underrated gallinule! The last day of the season for a while so I figured I would get a few. 2 pretty purples and some commons. Caught a mess of catfish between sunset and dark and shot some nice fish with the bow after dark! A pretty good day on the causeway! #mobiledelta #purplegallinule #commongallinule #moorehen #mixedbag #deltadog #home (at South Coast Safaris -Hunting) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUVTRQCgURX/?utm_medium=tumblr

New Predator Proof Fence Protects Endangered Hawaiian Waterbirds on Oahu
Tumblr media
A new predator fence at Pearl Harbor National Wildlife Refuge on O’ahu protects endangered waterbirds and native and migratory birds from invasive species like cats, rats,  and mongooses. The 3,300-foot long fence surrounds 30 acres of wetlands –  the first predator fence in the world designed specifically to protect a wetland and waterbirds.

”We expect this fence to help our endangered waterbirds by preventing invasive, non-native mammals from preying on their eggs and young,” said Eric VanderWerf, Director of Science at Pacific Rim Conservation.

The Honouliuli Unit of the Pearl Harbor National Wildlife Refuge provides essential habitat for the endangered Ae‘o (Hawaiian stilt), ‘Alae ke‘oke‘o (Hawaiian coot), ‘Alae ‘ula (Hawaiian moorhen), and Koloa maoli (Hawaiian duck). Habitat loss and predation have contributed significantly to the decline of these native species. The installation of this fence and removal of predators should improve reproductive success for the species that nest here.

“Protected wetlands like those at Pearl Harbor National Wildlife Refuge are essential for the future of endangered water birds here in Hawai‘i,” said Acting Refuge Manager Shannon Ludwig. “Working together with partners like Pacific Rim Conservation, projects like the predator fence contribute to the recovery of these endangered species.”
This is the third predator fence on a national wildlife refuge in Hawai‘i, and the second built by Pono Pacific Land Management. Pacific Rim Conservation and the Service also have partnered to build predator exclusion fences to protect endangered, native, and migratory birds from invasive predators at Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge on Kaua’i and James Campbell National Wildlife Refuge near Kahuku on O’ahu.

Pearl Harbor NWR was established in 1972 as mitigation for construction of the Honolulu International Airport Reef Runway. The Honouliuli and Waiawa Units are managed under a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Navy. The Kalaeloa Unit, once part of the former Barber's Point Naval Air Station, was established during military base closure proceedings in 2001 to protect native plants. Through these cooperative efforts with the Federal Aviation Administration, the State of Hawai‘i, and the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service made the Pearl Harbor NWR a reality.

Went for a lovely walk with Ashwyn to the local park after a very lazy day of doing nothing. You can hear the froggies in the rushes and the ducks, coots, and moorehens that reside on the little lakes.
