The secretive California clapper rail, one of the original birds on the federal endangered species list with a current population of only 600, relies on salt marshes for its habitat. The marsh, although located within an impoundment, has a very healthy stand of cat tail reeds and is teaming with wildlife, including muskrats, carp, fiddler crabs, dragon flys, and an assortment of marsh birds (including Great Egret, Glossy Ibis, Clapper Rail, Seaside Sparrow, Marsh Wren, and Yellow Throated Warbler). That's why she acts in a group called Frogworks, portraying a dying frog or a bird, Jenny the light-footed clapper rail, in environmentally themed skits aimed at saving the Ballona wetlands near Los Angeles International Airport. |
