Observation details
Continuing in private pond off 56. Has been present for many months on the property, sometimes with additional individuals. Large rail-like bird with long long legs and neck and a long, decurved bill. Overall plumage dark brown with white speckling and streaks. Sat at pond's edge the entire time, watching us intently as we photographed it across the pond. Sometimes the bird would become alert and flick its body left and right and bob it's head. Shells of bivalves scattered the pond edge, evidence of the bird's diet. Thanks to Milton for showing us the birds and for his uncle, James, for allowing us onto his property.
