The Elusive Sora Rail

I went out this morning before work and paid a visit to my favorite pond which I can drive right up next to. Didn't even get out of the car to take this shot.

The first one shows how well hidden it was. I could hear it and knew it was very close but just could see it.

Very interesting bird... I haven't seen these water birds in recent years...Thanks for sharing...

Nice catch.
Please get out of the car next time and lay in the grass for a couple of hours and get a close up shot!

seriously, well captured.

I havent seen one so out in the open, what were you tempting it with Shirley. Nicely done, I am hoping to upgrade my shots of this bird this year.

Thanks John. This was a first for me. I had no idea what it was until I got home and looked it up.

Thanks Phil. I'm waiting for the mosquitos and black flies to arrive before I try that.

It was just my charm, Trevor. I wish I got a sharper image. Eh, next time.
