Rails and Soras

Hi All,

Every once in a while the birds cooperate for photos, and today was one of those days.  I took almost 500 pics of only 6 species and 95% were only of some Virginia Rails and immature Soras.  So as long as they were posing, I kept the shudder going.  Any suggestions as to which I should enter for Zia’s monthly photo contest?  
That bird box looks a little small for these two.....

He sure knows how to eat!

Just watch me junior, and soon you will be doing it all on your own.
