It was a very pleasant evening walk at the Meadows where we had close looks at Stilt and Pectoral Sandpipers. We searched in vain for the Sora without success, but just as we were about to call it a night, one of the participants asked, "What's that bird?". It was a Clapper Rail in a fresh water pond! Then, while everyone was enjoying great views of the Clapper Rail, the Sora appeared right next to it! We finished on that high note and a beautiful sunset. Leaders: Warren Cairo, Mike Hannisian, and Nancy Watson.
