Rails and Soras

Recent word of Rails and Soras sent me to Lower Latham today (thanks Mary!) After visiting with the phalaropes and a funny muskrat, I found the spot.


My first glimpse driving by, was of this immature Virginia Rail:



He took off swiftly, followed by Mom or Dad



Then the immature Sora, a little less shy, appeared:





BIG Feet!





The Sora kept disappearing/ reappearing...



So I kept waiting.



While I waited, a Common Yellowthroat flew in 
for a two-second visit...


The Rail made a brief reappearance:


Two birds I was really beginning to think I might never get to see!!
