On my way driving in the heavy down pour to see the Black Rail I wondered if it would be worth it... OH MY GOD was it....the views of this bird were amazing. I want to thank Mike Mammoser for helping spot the bird. I can't thank you enough Mike.... The bird was still hanging around when I left at 11:35. The water was quite high before the expected high tide at 12:24! You could see the BLRAs red eye, rufous nape and white specks on the wings....what great views... Oh My God...what a great little bird it was to see..... Man, this beats asking for a White-throated Sparrow in my yard for Christmas..... Thanks again Mike..... Wishing you a happy holiday and a happy healthy new year (with lots of birds). My best regards, Linda Sullivan _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
