I've always wondered about this. Why do rails respond to hand claps? (I've 
never actually tried it myself.) As far as I know, none of them have a call 
that sounds like hand claps (except maybe King & Clapper, but even that's a bit 
of a stretch).

Virginia Rail - 2
Sora - 1
These called a few times in response to a couple of loud hand-claps at
Meadowview golf course.  Virginia's have wintered at this site previously.
Sora at exactly same spot where one was heard in early Dec.
