Clapper Rail with Fish

Martin Luther King Shoreline, Oakland, CA

By the bird's smaller size and the fact I've never seen one hunting in the open here, I think it must be a juvenile. I've seen it catch two other fish, and as before it had the smarts to take it quickly to a hidden area for consumption. There are many gulls in the area who would like to steal it.

I blurred what I thought was a distracting BG.
