Linking up with Wild Bird Wednesday and Nature Notes and Wordless on Tuesday
For this week's wild bird I am sharing the King Rail seen at the Swan Harbor Farms park in Havre De Grace, Maryland. My persistence paid off, this was our third trip to this park to see the King Rail. The third time was a charm and not a strike out. It was not a lifer for me, but it was the first time I was able to get some photos. It is usually a shy bird but this King Rail came out into the open a few times while we sat in the blind and watched.
I read on our listserve that this bird was being seen in the open on a few different days. I can not say enough how happy I am to be retired so I can go now and see these cool birds whenever I want..
A funny head on view of the King Rail. They are rufous above and below and they are found in fresh water marshes year round.
I hope you enjoyed my wild bird post. Till next week's wild bird post.
