The gallinule was on the bar and swam away, then slunk into the reeds,  
when we arrived about 11:00.

There was no food apparent except the bright lettuce. After noting our  
presence, the coot, mallards, and wigeon resumed foraging in water or  
reeds, not on the bar.

The coot tore at the lettuce at one point, not clear whether it ate  
much.

Gallinule stayed hidden.
