Description
"Virginia Rail Pair" by Debbie Oppermann. I was thrilled to capture the pair of Virginia Rails as I had only ever seen one at a time in the previous visits to the pond. 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.
