Observation details

*rare hybrid, vocal bird in the back marsh fairly near to the observation rock. Appeared to have chicks nearby. Traits are Intermediate between King and Clapper. Orangy sides, flanks and back with some gray in the face. Perky upright posture that you see in KIRA. Flanks are bold and bright. But I estimate it's not bright enough for pure King Rail.
