A Sora is usually something you hear before you see. This one stayed true to form, tucked deep among the reeds with just enough showing to give away its hiding place.

Several years ago this King Rail made an appearance at Iroquois NWR. This species is increasingly rare in the northern parts of its range, largely due to loss of wetland habitat. #kingrail #ralluselegans #birds #marshbirds #wetlands #iroquoisnationalwildliferefuge #geneseecounty #wny
