Sora-like bird, Virginia Lake, Thursday evening

[lancy cheng]

I didn't hear it. I saw it in a short flight, mostly away from me, before it landed and disappeared among weeds at the Least bittern spot. It had sora's head and facial pattern. Didn't see other details except it's overall dark.
A half dozen Ospreys.
One dozen Ring-necked Ducks.
A half dozen swallows. One tree. One had pale forehead and no fork tail seen (it doesn't mean it didn't have one)

Didn't see the sora during a brief check Saturday morning but there was a Pectoral Sandpiper with the Greater Yellowlegs

I think I may have seen it earlier this morning, about 7:00AM in the heavy rain, ,but it was flying a couple of times over by the Least Bittern spot and so I could not really tell if it was the Sora or not. But there was a bird flying around the reeds.

Also, saw the very calm Pectoral.
