Sault Ste. Marie - Birds such as this are usually heard but seldom seen. This was early in the morning.

This photo is a little blurry but it shows a very special encounter: away from any water a whole family of Virginia Rails (one adult and 4 chicks) crossed our road out of the blue! This was stayed behind nd wasn't sure whether to cross or not... it eventually did and joined all the others!

Saturday evening I went for a walk at the Nortel swamp just west of Ottawa. As I was walking down the trail a tiny black ball of fluff came walking down the trail toward me. An obviously alone and lost Virginia Rail chick.

After taking a few photos I caught the poor little waif and put it back in the cattails where it may reunite with its parents. Out on the trail it had no chance if a passing crow had seen it.
