Sora

Published on Mar 9, 2016

I noticed this young Sora while out along a pond I usually look for a pair of Trumpeter Swans. Often hidden in the dense cattails though occasionally ventured out near open edges of the pond. A pair of swans were out on the pond and you can hear their sounds as well as some geese sounds in the video. The Sora was silent and just looking for food.

Sora: This odd sounding bird was spotted in marshlands in Eastern Washington. It squeaks like a mouse and swims like a duck but has no webbed feet and has a beak instead of a bill. It's tail sticks straight up! The video sound picks up the calls from both the male and female although the female stayed well hidden. They migrate to South America in the winter.
