Observation details
Audio made approximately 20 min before sunrise. I was recording from behind my car after parking when I saw the silhouette of a small rail-like bird (larger than sparrow) on the ground backlit by a light. First recording has vocalizations at 4 and 12 second mark as it scurried back into marsh grass. It reappeared briefly a minute or two later as I restarted the recorder and it vocalized at the 0 second mark on the audio. The second time rather than run back into grass it leap up on relatively short wings deeper into the grass.
