Description
The Common Gallinule (Gallinula galeata) weighs approximately 300 to 450 grams (11 to 16i oz). It has a huge range that included most of temperate eastern North America, the American southwest, Mexico and Central America, the West Indies and much of tropical and temperate South America, including the Galapagos. It is a member of the rail and coot family, Rallidae, characterized by long toes that help them to broadly distribute their weight on lily pads and other floating marsh vegetation, as I have shown the adult doing in this oil painting. I have shown the immature bird in the water as they are excellent swimmers, even in the absence of either lobes on their toes as coots have, or the kind of webbing found in ducks, geese and other water birds. This painting is approximately life-size, and is in oils on Russian birch, 20 X 16 inches. $550.00.
