Virginia Rail

Many thanks to Connie and Jo Alwood who turned me on to this Virginia Rail they were watching this spring at BK Leach Conservation Area.  The midday light was poor for photography, but the bird was cooperative as it hunted among the cattails.  A couple of weeks later Sarah and I made a visit to BK Leach and found even more great rail habitat.  We were able to watch three more Virginia Rails and of course I left the camera at home…

Please have a look at Jo Alwood’s YouTube Channel.  I find it to be a treasure of Missouri wildlife documentary that ranks up there with the likes of Charles and Elizabeth Schwartz and Marty Stouffer.

Thanks for stopping by.
