We had a nice walk at Lily Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park on Monday morning. The highlight, aside from our lifer moose, was a very cooperative Sora in the marsh on the south side of the lake. This is proving to be a reliable spot for this species since we have seen Sora several times here over the years. The water level in the marsh is very high, and I first spotted the Sora when it flew to one end of the marsh and then swam until it reached the edge (I'm used to seeing them walk along marsh edges, so seeing one swimming was a pleasant surprise). It then proceeded to walk about in and out of cover giving us great views. Wilson's Snipe were also active and calling.
