Ridgeway's Rail, Ralius obsoletus:
Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve; Huntington, California
Until recently the Ridgway’s Rail was considered a
subspecies of the Clapper Rail. It is
found in California from San Francisco Bay to Baja California. While shooting at the Bolsa Chica Wetlands a few days ago I spotted this rail on
the muddy banks of the estuary. It stood
in place for a quarter hour just watching its surroundings and preening on
occasion. Though the sky was overcast
the soft light rendered the rich colors in the plumage of this beautiful bird.
