Feeding Sora

A little trophy for my patience. Sora's are very shy and reclusive and I comitted myself to several excursions to photograph one. I finally waded out into the marsh one morning to a spot where I could hear the call of several around me. Standing perfectly still waist deepin the water for about an hour, I caught this guy out of the corner of my eye and then waited another 20 minutes for him to cear the reeds and grass and offer me a series of shots.
