Virginia Rail

Whoot! Yesterday I got my first Virginia Rail, sort of. Back in 2016 I saw a dead one in perfect condition, so it was my lifer. This is a much better experience. These birds are rarely seen, very hard to get a photo. I had to delete over 50 attempts & only kept 3. This was the best of the 3. It was in the open for a split second & was running back into the cover of the rushes. We only see them during migration.
