Clapper Rail Ft.Fisher NC Stock Photography

Clappers are staple bird of the eastern seaboard of the United States, calling home at a distance stretching from New England down to Florida and even reaching into the Texas coast.You’d think that with such a wide range these handsome brown birds would be seen more often than not, but their sneaky behavior and appearance aid them in avoiding detection.This bird was one of only a handful that I’ve ever seen in my life and I could not be happier for it :
