A number of Rails continue to prowl the wetlands at Huntley Meadows park. I saw several two weeks ago here and the one above was in the same area today. It looks like a King Rail but I thought the one I photographed during my last visit was a Virginia Rail. Take a look at the 11/8/09 posting and see if you can determine if these are different birds or the same bird? I’m thinking the bird from two weeks ago was also a King Rail…
The park was full of birds today. I saw Bluebirds, Blue Jays, Cardinals, Kingfishers, Mallards, Shovelers, Canada Geese, Great Blue Heron, Titmouse, and several varieties of sparrows including the White-throated Sparrow above.
I’m still surprised to continue seeing some nice fall color. As long as it hangs around, I’m going to continue to photograph it!
