I spent a day out on the Rio Frio in Cano Negro National Park that turned up some amazing birds. This Crake was one of the highlights for me.

A member of the Rail family, according to Cornell.edu. A very secretive bird. You were fortunate to see one! Excellent shot.

A nice habitat shot with good detail and a nice foraging pose.

Nice catch of this elusive bird, Chuck. Very similar to the Sora we have in our area, and with similar reclusive behavior. I really like how the stride emphasizes the huge feet. Thanks for Sharing.
