Happy #WorldBiodiversityDay !

Clapper Rail at the Marine Nature Study Area, Oceanside, NY, 5/10. Sometimes called a "marsh hen," this salt-marsh dweller glides effortlessly through dense vegetation, helped by its laterally compressed body profile. As with other salt-marsh species, this species is threatened by encroaching development, climate change and pollution.

This year's fall migration seems to have brought a greater proportion of Palm Warblers to our area in NY than previous years. I counted at least 9 foraging in the bushes lining the footpaths at this marshland preserve yesterday.
