Sora

I dragged my wife for months trying to find our first sora. It took about 12 weekends during her pregnancy, and after. Sora can always be easily heard, even a few feet away. But they are incredible masters of disguise, and nearly impossible to find. A month after our son was born, we caught a glimpse of this migratory marsh bird.
