One day last week I stopped at the South Stream Wildlife Management Area on my way home from Bennington. It it a lovely spot where occasionally I spot an interesting bird. On this day I noticed a bird emerging from the reeds to walk along on the lily pads. Hmmmmm? What could it be? It was definitely a marsh dweller.
When I got home I hauled out my National Geographic Birds of the Northeast and went to Corne''s All About Birds. Success! My bird was a Sora Rail nicknamed the Marsh Walker. Last weekend I took my camera to the WMA and took quite a few pictures of the Sora only to find that I had inadvertantly move the mode dial on my camera which insured that every single picture was out of focus. On my next trip there my camera was properly set and I captured quite a few decent images.
