Endangered - Light footed clapper rails


Sharing from Huntington Beach!
Endangered bird species mating in Bolsa Chica - California
Wildlife experts are excited about the idea of the light-footed clapper rail breeding in the wetlands.
Greg Dillon saw these at the bridge of Bolsa Chica.  He got some great pictures and video.  Scroll to the bottom. Please. 
(A newspaper note:A family of light-footed clapper rails and their three chicks wander around the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve. It is the first documented sighted of light-footed clapper rail chicks in Bolsa Chica in decades. (Steve Smith, HB Independent / May 12, 2014)






These are terrific!   Thanks Greg!
