Magee King Rails 21-May-2006

Report from the TNA message board.

Report and photos by Brian Zwiebel

This morning I decided to try for the King Rails at Magee Marsh. Quite a crowd had gathered when someone came by and reported a Kirtland's Warbler at the west boardwalk entrance (never did see this bird)

All but a few rail hopefuls left to go for the Kirtland's. A few minutes later a Virginia Rail flushed from just below us and flew across the canal. A short time later the show really got started when the male King Rail came into close view. Two minutes later the female King Rail followed in his foot steps.
