Observation details
Thanks to a tip from our neighbor Peggy O'Brien, this nice adult male Sora came out in the open briefly. Females are similar but have reduced black on the chest. The name Sora reportedly comes from a Native American name for this shy marsh bird, more often heard than seen. A small chicken-like rail and fairly common migrant and winter visitor in coastal Northern California but absent in Summer. Sometimes called "Sora Rail."
