Dean,
I think that is a Sora Rail, however I could be wrong. Jack Kuzepski |

Carolina rail; the Sora has a more clipped beak, similar to that of a cardinal.

Could be a Sora/Carolina rail hybrid in need of a rhinoplasty. J.J, is this the 16 ga. FN A-5 I sold you with the solid rib Cyl barrel? If so, please have ready by Sept. 1 - saw the 'Rail Man' at a picnic on the upper Patuxent yesterday and he said the Jug Bay marsh is loading up with wild rice! My skiffs and poles will be soaked and ready around 28 AUG. Have permission to put in at either Pig Point or the Railroad Marsh. Stock up on RST #10 shot spreader loads. ("No choke is too open and no shot size is too small" - Gerry Parsons, 1991).
They are gone by the first frost - last year on the Maurice River (NJ) we hit the last of the full migration the end of the last week in September. Four boats out killed 58 rail (all Sora) on a late afternoon tide. (They jump better in the morning). Kind of like sinkbox shooting, its an iconic form of gunning - all true gunners should do it at least once before they die. "No one ever sees them come and no one ever sees them leave." - Warren Cook, Chief, Pamunkey Indian Nation, Powhatan VA. |
