Thanks, Ann. There was a guy from Brooklyn there who said it was Clapper Rail and got a good photo of it when it came out from behind the reeds. Then when I checked my Peterson's Guide, it seemed to match the description, but you are right! I forgot to check its region! Boy, the power of suggestion (and intimidation of those honking-big bazooka cameras!) Gotta always check region, no matter what! Thanks for the reminder!
