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.

On a cold day this rail was out in the open more than usual, including a brief stint skidding across an iced over pond.

The Virginias are always a challenge, they are either hidden in cover or moving too fast. Nevertheless, I manage a few decent shots every year.
