Observation details

There was a quite of the rails out and active. So we decided to take the opportunity and laid down in the grass for roughly an hour, waiting for them to come closer. Eventually both a Virginia Rail & Sora both came within a few feet! This was without a doubt one of the best birding experiences I've ever had!
