Virginia Rail
Rob's @robcrank68.bsky.social #BirdOfTheDay theme is #WaterBirds, any bird that lives in or get's it food from water, the Alt theme is #Blue, any bird with Blue on it.
Here's a young #VirginiaRail from 2019. Only time I've ever seen one.

A rare winter Virginia Rail in Southern Ontario. I respect the resolve to stay put and boycott the USA, but when the marsh freezes and temperatures plunge toward −20°C, it may need to reconsider migration.

Virginia Rail, Colorado, 2025
Finally caught a glimpse of this shy Virgina Rail peeking out of his house in the cattails. They are elusive!

I went to a local birding hotspot to see the current celebrity among local birders, a Virginia Rail. They don't usually hang around here for winter, so it was wonderful to see and photograph it 😊. I also took a couple photos of the usual suspects.

Golden-hour surprise at Lake St. Clair Metropark: a #VirginiaRail slipped out of the cattails and tiptoed the mud—my first ever. Secretive, coppery, tail flicking; more often heard than seen. A special end to the day!

Another picture of the Virginia Rail early Monday morning 10/6/2025 in the Verizon Plaza at 42nd Street NYC. There was no noisy crowd & we were standing still from a distance so this cutie came out to say hello to us. ❤️💙 #virginiarail #rails #birds #birdwatching #fallmigration
Virginia Rail in the Verizon Plaza at 42nd Street early this morning on 10/6/2025, surprisingly it was in the same planter with the Yellow-breasted Chat. The Rail came out to say goodbye as I turned to leave & head for work, lucky me! #virginiarail #rails #birds #birdwatching #fallmigration
Eye-catching, indeed! Her eye looks bemused, gloating, even, knowing you failed to see her laugh. It is said, in the Book of Virginia Rail rules: "Don't ever let them see you laugh!" and she always follows the rules. What a great picture! 😊 #birds #VirginiaRail
A virgina rail with its wings spread on the banks of a waterway marsh at Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge in Southwest Washington state Pacific Northwest wilderness
Do you think this Virgina Rail is sun bathing or trying to attract a mate?
Thoughts?

Virginia Rail (a small rust coloured bird with long thin legs and a long beak) standing on sand.
Salthaven staff holding the Virginia Rail to show off its long, slender legs and thin toes.
This secretive Virginia Rail came to us grounded with an injured eye. Found in wetlands, they move easily through cattails with long toes and strong legs. Help us care for unique patients like this by donating today. 💚 www.salthaven.org/make-a-donat...

We were Thrilled to spend time with a Virginia Rail again at Ridgefield NWR today. Even more excited to have watched it chase a Sora across the marsh!

This uncharacteristically fearless Virginia Rail let me get very close, in a small wetland not far from my home.

A cute little bird with an orange beak and a blue face hides in the natural Marsh wetlands. The Virginia Rail is a difficult bird to photograph in the Portland pnw wilderness
Hiding just a few feet off the autoroute, the wetland reeds make the Virgina Rail a difficult #photo subject, but it is often heard when disturbed.

The portrait of a Virginia Rail bird at Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge in Southwest Washington. A brown bird with a long yellow beak blends well with the wetland Marsh reeds.
Found in freshwater marshes, the Virginia Rail is an elusive #bird about the size of a Robin. It is most often only heard but can be seen at Ridgefield NWR. Dm for GPS.

Birdwatching a Virgina Rail in the wetland reeds of Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge in sw Washington state of the pnw
Also elusive but a more cooperative subject than the Sora I just posted, this Virgina Rail (and it's mate) sneaks thru the thick reeds in breeding season!

That time of the winter season when I start longing for spring migration, followed by summer birding. Sigh*** Throwback to the first time I saw a Virginia Rail.

Last weekend’s adventures brought me Ginny. Now I need a new nemesis bird. Lifer.

Virginia rails are small, chicken-like birds of marshes.
They are smaller than Clapper and King rails and possess a gray face with reddish bill and cinnamon colored back.
They are a secretive bird, using freshwater marshes and reeds to hide among, while searching for food.

Took a break from stress and went birding Sunday, hoping to catch some cuties. As luck would have it, I was fortunate enough to snap up some immature Virginia Rails as they ran in and out of the reeds. #Birds #BirdingOH #HowardMarshMetropark #Nature #photography #VirginiaRail
An overhead view looking down from the observation tower. Chicken-like feet, quite a small bird too #VirginiaRail #birds
