Yesterday, 6/17/2016 Medea Steinman and I drove down (from Franklin, Hancock Co.) to try our luck finding the King Rail. We had no trouble at all. It was exactly where posted in e-Bird, off Eldridge Rd.
-- 3:11 pm the bird was calling from the reeds. It would occasionally walk out onto the mud where it was fully visible and disappear back into the marsh plants only to wander back out onto the mud. We noticed that whenever a car drove by on the very nearby road, the bird darted back under cover.
Note: A neighbor to the marsh shared with us her concerns that a few people were trying to go off the road and into the marsh and had even tried to get into the marsh through her yard before asking. We had a nice talk with her. She was interested to learn more about the bird and was glad to hear our take: that most birders are respectful of wildlife AND property owners and refuge boundaries.
