Yesterday morning (17 July) I heard a Sora calling several times at the
still flooded field near Briery Branch, Rockingham County. Earlier this
summer/spring we had heard (and I believe someone saw) a Sora at this
location. I assumed that it was a migrant that had moved on. Now it
appears that one or more may have stayed . . . and perhaps are breeding?!
I heard the call from two different areas of the marshy area - one
location very near to me and another which seemed to be quite a distance
away from me. So perhaps there are two. Hopefully we can get some more
observations to clarify what is going on there.
