A White-throated Crake (Laterallus albigularis) calls from a meadow/marshy area on a road leading across the river out of downtown Puerto Viejo de Sarapiqui into a marshy area and farmlands (Costa Rica), 6/19/99. They can surprise you with this call, right at your feet, when you surprise them!

Here is the White-throated Crake (Laterallus albigularis) clucking call, recorded in a small slough near Grano de Oro (Costa Rica), 6/24/99.
