Nikki's Gallery:   Buff-banded Rail (1/6)

GRUIFORMES: Rallidae

Gallirallus philippensis  

I had to visit the Metroplex a few times to catch up with this Buff-banded Rail. It has taken up residence in some scrub next to a construction site. I was lucky on this day to get a good shot of him before he disappeared back under the fence to his sanctuary.
