Yellow Rail

Red Slough WMA; OK

I hadn't expected this opportunity at all!

I had to back up 10 feet after this bird froze after being surrounded, and not being able to get thru everyone's feet.I finally found a hole where I was mostly clear of grass, and not blocked by any of the others who could stand right over the bird and focus, my lens only focuses down to 11.5 feet.
