The Virginia Rail - Critter 87

With all the chaos going on in the world today, we thought we would share something a little brighter and wonderful.


Figure - A Virginia rail

Look at who came to visit us. We passed right by this little visitor as We went to put some things in the recycle bin to be picked up.

We never saw it when we went out. It was when we went to close the door, and our eyes had gazed to the corner. The little bird lows and beholds just sitting there being unbothered and bothering no one.

There it is sitting on top of the flower. As I searched the bottom of my phone on the pics for what kind of bird it is, it is said it’s a Virginia Rail.

Strangely, this bird should be found in the areas such as wet meadows and freshwater marshes. So, lucky to have this bird, a Virginia rail as our visitor.

Have you seen this bird in your areas?

  4. Good afternoon Tanza....I have not seen this bird in our area. I would love to just down to the farm where we have several lakes, and sit and watch the birds. Hopefully someday.... Thanks for sharing this beautiful one today.

  9. That's a pretty bird and a nice visitor!
    These birds don't exist in our country, and unfortunately I don't know if I've ever seen the Virginia rail on a trip. In any case, I've never been to Virginia...
    Warm greetings from Austria, Traude

  11. That really is a beautiful bird that sat there calm and quiet. Don't know the name but you will be right. It must be a bird you won't see often in garden though. So you had for sure a lucky moment.👌
