Common Moorhen

Returning now to the series on my "5" Star Photos we come to the Common Moorhen. 

There are probably people on the East Coast of the US who have a pond in their backyard with Common Moorhens year round who would say what's so special about this photo?  This is probably in much the same way that I don't take photos of Gambels Quail or Mourning Doves or White Winged Doves that are in our yard by the dozens. However, the Common Moorhen is generally a more solitary bird and uncommon to the Southwest. So this photo taken at Sweetwater Wetlands in Tucson feels a little more special.  I also like the detail in the photo. So, it gets a "5."
