<i>Porzana carolina</i> Length: 8.75" <p> It took me a while to both see and get some pictures of a Sora. The best time to see them is at very high tide at the Martin Luther Regional Park, Oakland, CA. </p> <p> Soras mostly eat seeds and plants. They will sometimes eat insects and aquatic invertebrates. The sexes are similar and there is only a little variation between breeding and non-breeding Soras. Note the very long toes. </p>
