[EBB Sightings] Arrowhead Marsh, Thurs. a.m.

Hi all,

The Rail paparazzi (guilty as charged) were out in force this morning.  We were treated to the annual rail survey which revealed multiple flying rails. A treat for us. Not for the Rails.  

A couple dozen Clapper Rails were seen, a handful of Sora (6 was my best count), and one very cooperative Virginia Rail. 

One Cackling Goose and 5 Greater White-fronted Geese were mixed in with the Canada Geese on the lawn adjacent to the Arrowhead boardwalk.

A couple of digi-scoped rail photos from today can be seen at:

Good birding,
