While visiting a friend at the Catholic  Residence on Milwaukee's east side 
today, we spent time outside in their lovely  "assisted living" atrium.  It 
has a three+ story (40'+/-) surround,  though with numerous young birch and 
ground layer plantings.   I was  surprised to see a juvenile Sora Rail 
taking cover amidst the ground covers and  shrubs as we walked the square.  
Seemed healthy, but I did feel concerned  that it wouldn't be able to navigate 
its way out of the confines of the  atrium.  I wasn't in a position to try to 
capture the bird for transport to  the Humane Society.
