What Bird Sounds Like a Manual Typewriter?

A yellow rail, one of THE MOST ELUSIVE birds around, sound like a manual typewriter.   And if you're too young to know what a manual typewriter sounds like, WHATEVER!  It sounds like a yellow rail.  Yellow rails are more secretive than Prince.  If I hear a yellow rail, I am going to celebrate big time.

Thankyou. June 2020 and I have been hearing this bird recently; it took me a while to realise it was a bird at all! Now I want to see it. Bridget

Never heard this bird before in my life until last week. Could not identify it. You have described it exactly 👍. This bird should not be here in a garden in Scotland 😂😂

Lake Phalen

Today I had a pleasant walk around Lake Phalen. Some of my walk was on a tarred path and some of it was on the road.
