Re: [Maine-birds] King Rail

Interesting to hear the "grunt" call between 3-4 pm today. More clappering between 4-5, by my ear. I assume that one view of the rail appearing orangey and another appearing dark was the effect of light. Or the two different birds? Too early for a juv.

Thank you for the sparrow, Sean. Neat bird.

The many flights over and around of 3 vocal Willets were an added delight.

Thank you all for this rail find, in Wells, and the detailed info about it. My only other viewing of a King Rail was in New York State at the Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge west of Syracuse, NY.
