Ridgway's Rail (Rallus obsoletus) - 30Mar2016

Last year the Clapper Rail complex was split into 3 different species and one of these was the California Clapper which became Ridgway's Rail.  Fine by me as now I get to add a bird to my list and I have done it in fine form.  The following shots were taken just North of the Mexican border at the Tijuana Estuary in Imperial Beach.   There was two of them and they had just finished mating in front of me.
