I was lucky--and fast!--to get this image. I was actually leaving the refuge when I spotted a small bird on the road ahead of me. When I realized it was a Virginia rail, I quickly grabbed my camera and fired off a few shots before he ran back into the marsh grass.
There has to be at least one tree in the field for the cows to stand under during thunderstorms. This is a rather large tree, so I think a few goats, horses and chickens could also stand here at the same time. It was a nice sunny day, so no animals were taking shelter from the rain.
Fountainhead Lake in the fall. The leaves are changing colors and dropping quick this year. This is where Davis Ford Road crossed the Occoquan River in the early 1900's. It's now a boat ramp. The opposite side of the lake also is now a boat ramp. #FountainheadLake #Virginia #lac #lake #Wasser #eau #See #water #湖

Seldom seen but often heard, this medium-sized rail lives in marshes across much of our continent. They forage for food by probing in mud or shallow water, picking items from ground or from plants, or stalking small creatures and capturing them with a swift thrust of the bill.
Like other rails, the Virginia Rail prefers to escape danger by running through marsh vegetation rather than flying. If forced to fly in order to escape it will only fly a short distance.
