A week ago, I went to LLC to find a reported Sora or Rail, or both – and found a Little Gull.

Today, I went to LLC to photograph warblers, and found a Sora.

LLC is full of surprises.

The Sora was amongst the reeds at the west end of the metal barrier. It seemed to be extracting a long, thin gelatinous substance from the water, and used its long feet adroitly. As long as I stood as still as the fencing, it did not seem to notice or mind the click of the shutter.
