Sora Rich BrownRichard Brown sent this photo of the Sora that has been sighted numerous times at DeKorte Park in Lyndhurst over the past week. The bird is not uncommon to the region, but is a rare sight. According to Allaboutbirds.org, the Sora is a small, secretive bird of freshwater marshes and theĀ  most common and widely distributed rail in North America. Its distinctive descending whinny call can be easily heard, but actually seeing the little marsh-walker is much more difficult.
