Description
A Clapper Rail (Rallus crepitans) family sticking together (the chick is trying to catch up) in a wildlife marsh, early morning light, Newport Backbay, Newport Beach, California.
The Clapper Rail is usually hidden in dense cover, but sometimes we see it stalking boldly along the muddy edge of the marsh, twitching its short tail as it walks, or swimming across a tidal creek. It forages by walking in shallow water or on mud, especially on falling tide or at low tide, picking up items from the ground or vegetation, sometimes probing in mud or water. Its diet includes crustaceans, insects, fish. Crustaceans are favored, especially crabs and crayfish. It also eats many aquatic insects, small fish, mollusks, worms, frogs. Both parents feed the young. Young chicks can fly in about 9-10 weeks after hatching.
