Gloria's Birds: O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay! I saw a Virginia Rail today!

I had never seen one before. These Rails are shy birds, they hang out in marshes and wetlands, and are just 9-1/2 inches long. Saw it only because a young bird watcher pointed it out to me. He even moved over so I could get a clear shot:)
