I saw a bird this morning at the CVNP Beaver Marsh and I am looking for assistance in identifying it. The bird was about 6 inches in size, dark in color, and the bill was short, thick and dark. It emerged from the reeds for 30-45seconds. I watched it thru by binoculars. When I reached for my camera it went back in. Over the next 45 minutes it did not re-appear. I thought I had finally gotten a glimpse of the Sora. The body shape was right. But, tonight as I look thru my book and google images, Sora's are much more colorful. Can anyone offer a suggestion on what I may have seen?
