Moorhen Marsh - 4/29/2006

Location: Moorhen Marsh Observation
date: 4/29/06
Notes: Sora was identified by call: downward whinny. Virginia was doing a call that sounded like a robin "cheep" note from down in the cattails. I've never heard it before and stood there until I had a visual on the Virginia rail running from cattail stand to cattail stand.
