[Maine-birds] King Rails - YES!

Yesterday evening about 6:30 pm, I stopped to try and see the male and female King Rails on Elldridge Rd in Wells Maine.  Within minutes both the male and female stepped out of the marshes into a small ditch right in front of me.  The female spotted me and went back into the reeds but the male just walked away from me staying in the ditch.   I watched him off and on for about 10 minutes before he finally disappeared back into marsh.   Having both male and female there at the same time, it was easy to see the differences between the two with the male being much larger and having a more vivid overall appearance.
