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!!
