One can't help but wonder whether there are better places than Central Park to release a rehabbed marsh species like Virginia Rail. Someplace with a greater amount of appropriate habitat, and more importantly on the perimeter of Manhattan, providing a better escape route from the island than through the canyons of high-rise buildings surrounding Central Park. Someplace like Inwood Hill Park or Randall's Island perhaps. Are there any regulatory constraints on the rehab facility mentioned which require them to release all their outpatients into Central Park?
