My wife Jody and along with Phil & Joan Leighton had very long, close (six-ten feet) looks at at least two different CLAPPER RAILS. We took the boardwalk from the Interpretive Center to the signs indicating Rail Alley and quickly located the birds. At high tide, the water was just touching the undersides of the boardwalk boards. We also had great looks at SONG SPARROWS, COMMON YELLOWTHROATS, and MARSH WRENS. It's odd how these birds would hang around the area and didn't just fly a few hundred yards away to dry ground. Territories? We also saw an AMERICAN KESTREL pick up a small black or dark bird from the water and eviscerate it on a nearby power tower, but the lighting was bad enough that we couldn't ID the prey. Good birding, Eric --- Eric Goodill [[email protected]] _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
