Afternoon skies were bright and sunny, not the timing or conditions usually associated with nighthawks. The bird appeared to be feeding and was calling regularly, one call every few seconds.41_22Jun200907:44: [log in to unmask] |

Thanks to several members of this list who pointed out the
beak of the unknown bird seen yesterday to eliminate Sora,
and identified it as a Virginia Rail chick.

The coloring of the tail seems to suggest that's likely, too!
