I was birding in Sussex and Kent Counties with a few friends over the weekend and managed to capture these two Clapper Rails working the canal edge along Fowler Beach Rd. in Prime Hook NWR. Prime Hook NWR may be the best spot to observe Clapper Rails regularly in Delaware. Until next week, good digiscoping!
