Immature Sora photographed at Ford SFL. 20 October 2013 | | | After I got off work this morning, I decided to photograph waterfowl and anything else on the water I could find. I picked out a favorable location along the east shore and set up shop before twilight. I spent a little under two hours at this spot, concealed fairly well.. at least enough such that teal and coot would float by at less than 10 yards without any pause. The highlight of the shoot was an immature Sora that popped out of thick, partially submerged brush near the shore. This was quite a treat after hearing it vocalize for awhile. I also heard at least a couple others vocalizing at more of a distance. Below is a 5-image series of the Sora emerging out of the brush and floating out in open view briefly. | (click on thumbnail for pop-up of larger images)
