Virginia rails after sunset! Coastal California bird photography

Really wonderful!

glad you are still posting content Ryan. We have them in the UK, they're just called Water Rail here, but are super skittish and highly skulking as well, always a pleasure to see them!

Different species but sounds like just as fun behavior 😆

Honey wake up, new Ryan Mense video just dropped! Actually saw and photographed my first Virginia Rail a couple of weeks ago. A single one about 20ft away foraging, not giving a shit about me at all.

That’s some good luck right there!

Nice outing! I can wait to head south this winter and see actual double digit number of species vs our measly Alaska winters.

To be fair you get everything good in the summer AND in breeding plumage 😄
