At 9:00 pm - 9:45 pm, one Black Rail sang persistently south of the road, with two more sang on the north side and further west, slightly higher pitched. I believe my recording picked up all three. Also several Soras and Virginia Rails on both sides of the road. And most intriguingly, we believe we heard one and possibly two King Rail calls from the north side of the road, and further east. These would not respond further to playback and I did not get a recording. Observers: Nick Komar, Dave Wade, Cole Wild. Hopefully others can document King Rail along CR48.
