>rapid ticking...each note was short...like a staccato "tet tet tet'' with
>varying intervals between the notes. It continuously repeated the same >notes
>at the same pitch without adding different sounds. It seemed somewhat >smaller
>than a Virginia Rail. We are used to the call and appearance of both Sora >and
>Virginia Rail but have never had good looks of either while in flight. It
>didn't sound like Virginia Rails or Soras that we have heard in the past.
