this member of the rail family,is very timid,and also very quick.they move through thick vegation,quite easily.took these at cranberry marsh,this morning.sat quietly for at least 1 hr.to get these.

Hey great pics never seen one or even heard of that bird before.  I don't mind sitting and waiting awhile either.  Depends work great on those days where you have to sit and wait a long time to get your pic.
