Life bird, dude!

Today we saw our very first Yellow Rail, and it was a doozy! Here's the day list. I am just beginning to understand that these January high tides are not at all a nice experience for the Rails and mammals that get flooded out of their homes. Sure makes for high drama at the swamp!

I think we watched 3 Black Rails and 2 Virgina Rails consumed by herons & egrets at Waldo's Dike. Thank goodness the one and only Yellow Rail we saw made it to safety!
