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.

"Clapper Rails are chickenlike marsh birds with stout bills and stubby tails. They are noticeably larger than similarly shaped Virginia Rails... Clapper Rails have a gray face; light-colored head, neck, and breast; a darker back; and barred sides and belly. Underparts vary from gray to dull cinnamon. The bill is orange, while legs are light yellow or pink (when not covered with mud)." (AllAboutBirds).
