Regarding the difficulty in seeing rails. I lead a walk on the
Kiwa Trail on the Ridgefield N.W.R.'s River "S" Unit on Saturday for
Migratory Bird Day. We saw at least ten individual VIRGINIA RAILS
including several newly hatched chicks. I find them very responsive to a
little clicking with your mouth and a squeaky kissing of the back of the
hand in the right rhythm.
May 9, there was one WESTERN KINGBIRD at the Steigerwald Lake
N.W.R. near Washougal.
