A couple of years ago, My son took a picture of a Sora in DC while it walked 
under and around parked cars, apparently looking for something to eat.  I 
don't recall the location.

Subject: [MDOSPREY] Kiwi in DC?

John Kelly's column in the Washington Post this morning has an amusing
anecdote about his cabdriver spotting a small brown duck-like bird crossing
15th St. NW. The story ends with a (presumably tongue in cheek) suggestion
that it might have been a kiwi!  My wife and I concluded that it sounds like
a Virginia rail.  I recall that one was spotted near the African art museum
on the mall a few years ago.  The column didn't say where on the 15th St. it
was found.  Maybe Jim Felley could keep a lookout?  Anyone else?

Best,
