[birdky] Sora & Mallard in hay field

While mowing orchard grass and red clover hay today I flushed a Mallard hen - 
probably ruined her nest. Also repeadedly flushed a Sora which kept going back 
into the uncut hay. As luck would have it, I had my camera with me because I 
was hoping to see some young Savannah Sparrows. No luck there. I had been 
seeing an adult  Savannah Sparrow at the exact same spot in this hay field for 
several weeks, but did not see it yesterday and thought it may have young just 
off the nest. Guess it headed north instead.  Anyway, I got several poor but 
recognizable shots of the Sora, both in the hay field and in an adjoining 
pasture. Also in the same field - a young Cottontail Rabbit with light reddish 
blond fur, several Bobwhites and numerous Red-winged Blackbirds and Eastern 
Meadowlarks.
