I sure wish it had been a Clapper, but I was pretty happy at actually seeing a Virginia rather than just hearing them all the time in the spring. Good ID! It is indeed a Virginia Rail!

Clapper rails are generally found on the coast---not that it couldn't happen but I'm not even sure there's a KS record for a Clapper. I can tell you that it this were a clapper, Kylee wouldn't have waited until Jan. to tell us about it.... Note the grey cheeks on this apparently adult bird.... Keleigh,
