Geocache Description:


A small, secretive bird of freshwater marshes, the Sora (Porzana carolina) is the most common and widely distributed rail in North America. Its distinctive descending whinny call can be easily heard from the depths of the cattails, but actually seeing the little marsh-walker is much more difficult. They breed in shallow wetlands with lots of emergent vegetation, and build nests of floating vegetation. The young hatch covered with black down, and leave nest within one day, then are fed by the parents. The adults eat seeds and aquatic invertebrates.

There was a Swamp Sparrow, and a few others birds singing here, but I already have caches named after everything I saw and heard here while placing. The habitat is correct for Soras, so that's how I came up with the name. The container is a fat pill bottle with a log and a few small trading items. You will need to bring your own writing instrument. There is plenty of parking on the wide road shoulder.
