I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

That secret should remain so, for nature to sustain herself:)
I love this bird. We have a 'cousin' here, very similar.
Great shot of the bird and scenery. Happy weekend!
I've never heard or seen a 'swamp hen', it's very distinctive and BIG.
It's my first time to see a swamp hen...
Great shot!
I have never seen a swamp hen. She is a most impressive gal. Don’t think I would like to get too near to her feet.....ouch! The contrasts are nice.
Interesting bird!

nice to see. I always marvelles about their feet. They are so cool. :)
smart hen - always looking behind her, just to be sure...
Nice picture...;-D
Lovely shot. That expression is priceless. She looks like the bird I know as a Coot.
