Indian Runners

My partner and I, took a drive on a rainy day, to Finleys Wildlife Refuge.
It is a little north of Monroe, on HWY 99. This is a great place to go to take
photos. You never know exactly what kind of wildlife or scene, that you might
run into.
These birds, I've only seen once going there. I have been there several times.
They were just swimming in the flooded field water, right next to the gravel
road that we were driving down.
Another car, that was driving towards us stopped, right next to ours. They
told us said that they are called Indian Runners, and that when they walk or run,
they stand erect, and that they are fast. Well,they were very right.
I had to keep up with them, to get photos. They are quit interesting and amusing
birds.
