Yesterday evening at about 6:15 pm, spotted one of the continuing King Rails in the marsh off Eldridge Rd in Wells, Maine. Had frequent looks at it and believe it was the female. Several other birders were present and we agreed it was the female. At one point, it crossed from the north side of the road to the south side. It began calling and was answered by another rail, presumably the male. They started about 50 feet apart and the calls gradually became closer and closer until the calls stopped when they were about 10 feet apart. A few minutes later, the female reappeared and was seen in the marsh reeds for quite awhile. I watched her until about 7:15 pm when the bugs finally drove me away.
