246. Virgina Rail

Virginia Rails, as many marsh birds, are not really rare, but hard to find because they are so secretive.

 

The marsh at Lake St.Clair Metropark was thick with dry cattails, and because of constant rain this Spring, the water level was unusually high. For these reasons, many birds were forced into more open view. Happily, a Sora and this Virginia Rail gave good views for me.
