Wonderful serie ChristinaAnneM !!
Beautiful bird, I have never seen it before, thanks for sharing.
The colors in these pictures are amazing! Great spotting!
Thank you, Ava! My friend & I spotted this Virginia Rail in a large Nature Park on the Island of Montreal. Until this past May, I had never heard of this bird! We were lucky, as this one in particular was not shy at all. If all goes well, I will have photos of the baby rails in a few days! :)
Welcome to Project Noah, ChristinaAnneM. This is a lovely first spotting. Can you tell us a little more about it? These are hard to see; was it in a zoo or rehab center, or in the wild?
