Wood-Rail, Rufous-necked 1 @Bosque del Apache NWR

Foraging in and out of reeds on the west side of the lagoon that passes under the Boardwalk. Seen from the east end of the Boardwalk and also from the gaps in the trees south of there from the Marsh View Trail. Seen around 1345-1415 and still in view when I left, gratifying a good-sized crowd. Thanks to Matt Daw for finding this gem.

Description: Rail shape and posture; size a bit smaller than a Clapper.
