Am I ever glad that I woke up at 5:15 this morning to go to Black Creek Marsh! Will and I heard or saw 10 Virginia Rails, including a couple that came right out to us in response to Will’s tape.

I may have left my camera at home, but you wouldn’t have seen or heard any if I didn’t bring my handy dandy digital player!
@ Hope: Go back soon…they were in almost every thick stand of marsh plants.
