The Clapper Rail is a seldom seen bird of Atlantic coast salt marshes. They are known for running through the thick marsh reeds rather than flying. “Skinny as a rail” comes from their ability to squeeze through that dense vegetation.

This is probably my most important publication. Just came out in a birding magazine called The Clapper Rail. "Fashion Reporting from the First Warbler Migration Gala Held in Autumn." Yup. If you're not a birder, some birds change plumage in the spring. brooklynbirdclub.org/ClapperRail/...

I saw 4 clapper rails at the Wetlands Institute today. This one was the closest and left the grass twice, giving very good views.
