This morning about Toe and I went down to look for the reported Black Rail at the Seaside Sparrow spot. We arrived at 6am and began listening... At about 6:30 am I heard what sounded like a Black Rail but it was in the distance to the south along the road. There were about 6-7 others there looking and we all walked down that way and shortly after we heard the bird loud and clear. It was probably no more than 30 feet from us.

We also saw several Seaside Sparrows off in the distance, but saw none close enough to photograph.

The location of the rail was about a half mile south of the Mahogany turn off. There is a Culvert there, go another 200 yards and your there.

Life heard bird.... Sweet!

Picked up 4 year birds for my "litte year"...
