Sora from Cape May

Chris spotted this Sora at the Meadows in Cape May. After seeing the Least Bittern earlier in the day, we were hopeful to see some other life birds, so Chris was scanning the shores carefully while Mike was following the Skimmers. She was not able to identify the Sora at first, but we both knew it was something we had not seen before. Fortunately some other birders joined us and we were able with their help to identify it. We kept watch for a while, and it turned out there were a total of three Soras running about for us to watch. Great fun! Nice ending to a good birding day.
