Instead of standing with the crowd, my company's corporate controller and I(playing hookie from work) wandered east toward Harriet Mundy Marsh. One other person who I later learned was Larry Sansone was by himself looking into the shrubs at the road's edge. He thought he had seen the bird earlier. Shortly there after a Black Rail popped out of the shrubs, looked around and flew 8 to 10 feet east along the road's edge toward Harriet Mundy Marsh. It flew under cover, but it soon re-appeared once again as it looked around and continued flying another 6 feet east. At this point Larry was getting great views and Mike Rogers headed over. We all kept an eye out on the area where it had been last seen. It appeared yet again. This was my third view of this bird. In very clear viewing for all, the Black Rail looked around and flew for cover. The crowd from "rail corner" soon worked their way over to see if they too could get a look. We left to return to work. The tide was still very, very high as we just left everyone at 12:30 PM and returned to work. Lisa Myers _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
