I was fortunate to see this. Unfortunately, I took a lousy picture, with obvious motion seen. Still, it would do for ID purposes, if anyone would like an see an open view of one. Ordinarily, these are fairly secretive birds, and don't allow much of a view, even for bad photography!
About the only times I have seen Sora in the open is responding to playback or when they are very hungry in migration. In Florida in late February, Nancy and I stumbled onto a flock of 15-20 birds that were foraging; the naturalist said they had flown in the night.

1/60th sec @ ISO 1000, f/5.6, 400mm, HH, VR on.
Very tough to even SEE these birds , let alone get ANY shot.
Nice!
