I decided to be late for work this morning - I set out for Huntley Meadows and arrived just before 730am.

There were already four or five others there waiting to see the Virginia Rails. They did not disappoint. I think they first started showing themselves around 8am.

Here are some shots of one of the adults and one of the juveniles.

The large group of juvenile wood ducks was still present in the big pool below the observation tower. There was one female escorting 10 juveniles:
