Description
"Rail Looking For Tidbit" by Debbie Oppermann. I was quite excited to spot this Rail as I had never seen one before. The Virginia Rail is a chickenlike marsh bird with a long, heavy bill and a short, upturned tail. A secretive bird of freshwater marshes, the Virginia Rail often remains hidden in dense vegetation, but its loud grunting may give away its presence. As it slowly pokes its way through the marsh, you might get a glimpse of its reddish bill and black-and-white barred sides. This young Rail was out foraging but still staying close to the rocks and grasses.
